"One of my most favourite wines." - Gary Walsh.
"The 2023 Amelia Cabernet Merlot blend is a classic from this label. Approachable now with its complex mix of black berries, generous weight and those lovely long tannins that we get from the low yielding 60 plus year old vines." - Maryann Egan

"Cabernet as drawn by MC Escher, exquisitely etched, scrawling volumes into the tiny details. Mulberry and cassis, fennel seed and bay leaf, violets pressed between dusty tissue paper. A diaphanous sheath of fruit deftlydraped over a compact and composed framework. Lovely fine acid line and microfine tannins that sit effortlessly in the wine. 13% alcohol" 97 points. Nick Ryan, The Australian Oct 2025

"A 45/45/10% cabernet sauvignon/merlot and cabernet franc/petit verdot blend with the majority coming off the original dry-grown 1963 plantings. A fabulous, bright crimson/purple. A touch riper and richer than the '22. There's a sumptuous core of dark fruits, violets, cedar and fresh pencil shavings on the nose. It's just as enticing on the perfectly pitched, medium bodied, elegant and very persistent palate. Everything is in place for a long and productive life!" 97 points.
