The first wine was released in 2005 and the range now includes 3 tiers. At the top is Cherubino (Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon) and next tier is The Yard, which includes five single-vineyard wines from Western Australia and at the lower end is the Ad Hoc label, which are single region wines. Rated highly among wine critics and punters alike, currently holding a 5 red star winery rating from James Halliday, it's impossible not to see the value in his wines which are of the highest quality, and marked at very reasonable prices.

James Halliday's Wine Companion
From vineyards in Wilyabrup, matured in French oak for 12 months. It ticks all the boxes with its cassis fruit on the one hand, firm cabernet tannins on the other providing all-up balance. Exceptional value for a wine with an extended drinking window of opportunity.

Leafy cassis and blackcurrant hold hands with ripe raspberry and crushed black pepper. There is hints of liquorice and anise in there, too. At the price this is a ridiculously well structured, classically styled cabernet – I’m not sure what more you could possibly want. Supple. Succulent
