Winemaker Notes
Dense dark red to black color of great intensity. An intense and rich bouquet led by the ripest cassis and berry fruits, rich and opulent. Behind the primary fruits are distinctive vineyard characteristics of dark chocolate and mint. This vineyard consistently produces intense fleshy and full mid-palate Cabernet with massive fruit weight with dark cherry and blackcurrant flavors. This is a big full wine with ample flavor and concentration in the classic Margaret River tradition.

COMMENTARY: The 2018 Hay Shed Hill Cabernet Sauvignon is stylish and true-to-type. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits attractive aromas of red currants, dried herbs, a hint of minerality. Serve it with grilled lamb kebabs. (Tasted: May 3, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

"I knew the Hay Shed Hill vineyard and its potential could not pass up an opportunity to be part of such an exciting winery that is producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon wines as good as or better than any wine producer in Margaret River – and that means world class wine.
I believe that small, old, hands-on vineyards and wineries like Hay Shed Hill need to be owned and run by winemakers and grape growers; people who are attached to the land and the place and wish to express its character through the wine."
In a highly corporatized wine world we've seen highly visual wine companies 'huff & puff' with huge volume expectations with more press in the business news than favorable reviews in the wine columns. In the end corporations shouldn't run boutique wine businesses.
