Deep, dark garnet, the Saddleback cuveé is immediately inviting. Billowing black pepper, spice and lavender lift the purple fruited and stony aromatics. Medium-full bodied and packed with blackberry and black cherry fruits, it shows the cool site in a cool season with freshness and vibrancy providing great drinkability with plenty of structure from layers of fine, pliant tannin and magnificent length.
The son of biodynamic power couple Alan & Nelly Cooper of Cobaw Ridge, Joshua Cooper is one of the most exciting young winemakers in Australia. Unbelievable precision and focus. Tiny quantities, high demand, a producer to watch.
