This second release, 2022 Compono, is an elegant Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from meticulous vineyards in Barossa Valley (64%) and Eden Valley (36%). Aromas of cassis, blackcurrant leaf and cedar. Bright layers of blackcurrant and satsuma plum, a long and graceful palate, with smooth, graphite-like tannins.

93+ points - Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate, 21 June 2024 "The 2022 Compono Cabernet is a bright, fleshy, aromatic wine, with pliable tannic structure and a cavalcade of dark forest fruits. This is exotic and a little chewy and, most importantly, shaded with nuances of graphite and bramble, blueberry and star anise. Eden Valley is at a higher elevation with greater diurnal range than the valley floor, and this no doubt contributes to the natural acid and effortless balance of fruit and tannins. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."
