96 / 100"A very intense, fine and elegant cabernet; taut and long. Dried herb and berry aromas. A suave, seamless wine with great fruit purity, harmony and finesse. Silken tannins. (Messenger is the southernmost vineyard in the single vineyard program, and needs a warm season to make it into bottle by itself. Previous bottlings were also warm: 2005 and 2010.)"

"Produced from Wynns' most southerly vineyard, this is a fragrant cabernet with engaging aromatics of blackcurrant and violet. It has remarkable intensity on the mid-palate as well as impressive length. The wine has an elegant flow, and the tannins are delightfully silky"

Tasting Notes
Messenger Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 is an excellent sequel to the 2010 vintage. A mulberry and red cherry nose contains overtones of lavender, while the palate is juicy and elegant; blueberry flavours shine through with very fine tannins and integrated French oak.
