Eligible for "Wine of the Year Awards".  95 PTS — Ray Jordan- The West Australian - "Patrick Single vineyard Home Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 There is a pure essence of Coonawarra in this excellent cabernet sourced off the original 60-year-old vineyard planted near the family home. Masses of plush dark blackcurrant and spicy cedary fruit characters. A tobacco leaf and sage bush character overlays the aromatic fruit. It was quite a warm vintage, so you are getting of wine of some power and volume.
