THE MODERN
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
This is Voyager’s fresh take on a contemporary Cabernet. The Modern celebrates what Voyagers organically farmed soils produce best. This medium-bodied, red-and-dark-fruited style is what they call a well-balanced and complex palate with red and dark berry flavours, floral notes, enhanced by gravelly earth.

TASTING NOTES
The Modern has a medium-bodied, red-and-dark-fruited style is what they call a well-balanced and complex palate with red and dark berry flavours, floral notes, enhanced by gravelly earth. Cedary French oak almost entirely absorbed in the palate, and the tannin profile is silky on the long, impressive finish.
A very elegant Cabernet. A balanced and complex palate with red and dark berry flavours, floral notes, enhanced by gravelly earth"

VIneyard | Excellent budburst was followed by a beautiful warm November; ideal conditions for flowering & fruit set. Summer was quite mild, with one of the regions wettest Decembers and just a few hot days. The warmer March weather saw reds ripen beautifully & they were harvested under clear, sunny skies with ripe, concentrated flavours & excellent fine-grained powdery tannins.
IMPRESSIVE & EXPRESSIVE
"This is a new wine, and is a blend of cabernet and merlot. Leafy tobacco and black olive
nuances overlay the deeper plummy blackcurrant of the two varieties. Has that distinctive graphite of oyster shell character you get in these southern cabs. Impressive and expressive. I like the structure and poise which reflects the way the wine has been assembled"
