Duke's Vineyard is a retirement project-turned-obsession of Duke and Hilde Ranson. Cabernet is Duke's passion. He planted his first vines of Cabernet it in the foothils of the Porongurups back in 1999. Today, it's absolutely flourishing. The result of the dry year was a fragrant wine with powerful cassis flavours and a fine acid finish. Its richness is spectacular because it parallels the wine's power. Endless peaks of supple blackcurrant and cassis make light of the varietal tannins that can dog cabernet. Enjoy with family and friends. The Halliday Wine Companion awarded it a mammoth 97 points, making it one of the best value Cabernets in Australia, in their esteemed opinion.

”From a distinct plot in Duke's estate vineyard. This has good concentration, palate-staining resonance and a general sense of high drinkability. Scents of clove and pipe tobacco over cassis and lavender, the palate more fruit driven, plummy, but with brined black olive and more clove spice in play. Sits at medium weight, cruises along gently and feels almost refreshing in a way. Elegant and understated; very good are the words.”
– Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion
