✪ 2014 Stonefish Nero Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon “Sways with energy, concentrated cassis, currants and boysenberries doused in Middle Eastern spices and cedary oak. Full-bodied and structured with substantial tannins yet maintains a vibrancy and freshness throughout.“ |

✪ 2015 Stonefish Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon “It’s vibrant and tangy with an abundance of blackberries and mulberries, choc-mint and screams Margaret River. Somewhat sinewy with puckering acidity and needs more time to gel.” |
