2022 LS Merchants ‘Jolliffe Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon (Pre-Release)
96 points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday’s Wine Companion
A single-vineyard wine and the flagship, which is made for ageing but, as is the LS Merchant way, made for drinking anytime. A glorious combo of mulberries, blackberries and kirsch with cedary, spicy oak infusing the fruit alongside bay leaves, menthol with some savoury/umami inflections of tapenade and wakame. Velvety tannins caress the mid-weighted palate, with fine acidity leading to a persistent finish. Classy drink here folks.
