A stand-alone brand of S Smith & Sons (Yalumba), taking its name from adjacent blocks previously owned by the Smith and Hooper families. The wine has clearly defined cabernet characters ranging through red berry to darker fruit emanating from a core of fleshy, generous fruit, framed by fine-grained tannins on the finish.
