FIVE STARS 94/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Beautifully composed and styled"
This sublime cabernet sauvignon from Tope reflects the patient viticulture and traditional techniques applied in the winemaking process. Tope was founded in 2019 by friends Tom and Pete with a vision to produce wines that are true to their vineyard sites with no synthetic chemicals. Made through a small-batch process, this 2021 wine is a true expression of full yet balanced Clare Valley Cabernet at its finest. This cabernet is one of the founding pillars of Tope, and the label design pays homage to that - being the rental home where the boys first met.
Flavours of sweet cherries and blackcurrant are beautifully balanced by hallmark cabernet characters of cedar and subtle tobacco. There's a nice level of concentration on the palate, finishing silky and satisfying. Well worth a try.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Beautifully composed and styled, the wine shows blackcurrant, sweet cherry, subtle tobacco and cedar characters on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate displaying fine flow and excellent persistency. Wonderfully framed by beautifully infused tannins, making it firmly structured yet silky and satisfying."
