This is a sensational Cabernet Sauvignon that is produced from the original forty-year-old vineyards at Squitchy Lane. The vine age and the northly aspect of the vineyard combine to produce fruit with good ripeness levels balanced with a healthy level of natural acidity. The 2022 vintage began with difficult weather that effected flowering resulting in lower yields. However the cool and dry conditions that prevailed throughout summer ensured that outstanding fruit was produced.

Reviews From vines planted in 1982. From whats turned out to be an excellent cabernet vintage in the Yarra heres a wine that can hold its own with the best of them. A very bright medium crimson purple this smells terrific with its aromas of cassis and dark cherries violets and pencil shavings from the well-handled oak. On the palate this is both concentrated yet light on its feet at the same time with ripe svelte tannins announcing a wine thats approachable now but will continue to improve for at least a decade. 210 dozen made. 97 points Philip Rich Halliday Wine Companion
Bottle Volume 750 ML
Tasting Notes
An intense deep red in colour with a nose full of flavours of black berry cassis and a touch of spice and cedar oak. The palate is concentrated and packed with dark fruit flavours black currants dark cherry and hints of spice anise chocolate and delicate pencil-shaving oak. The long-refined finish with graceful tannins suggest that the wine will age for ten years or more.
Winemakers Notes
Made from old vine Cabernet Sauvignon which was hand picked destemmed and crushed. It spent 14 days on skins after fermentation was completed before being pressed. Matured in oak with 30 new for 14 months then bottled without fining.

About Squitchy Lane

Squitchy Lane is based on a mature vineyard planted in 1982 and was part of the renaissance of the Yarra Valley. Planted to classic varieties including Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, Squitchy Lane has developed a reputation for hand crafting premium wines with complexity and elegance that highlight the distinct terroir of vineyard. Squitchy Lane was acquired in 1996 by former Australian Rules Football player Mike Fitzpatrick, who named the vineyard Squitchy Lane, recalling his time studying at Oxford where he begun his foray into wine. Lessons learned on the football field such as discipline, resilience, attention to detail and teamwork have proved to be just as crucial in the production of high-quality wine.

Just a quick note to say I am so glad I found Australia Tasting Room! Since leaving Australia, I have missed some of my favorite wines. I researched other freight companies, but none offered the personal touch service of Australia Tasting Room. You have a great selection from the best vineyards. You added others upon request, and also gave great recommendations when asked. And customer service does not stop with the purchase— The team keep me updated on the shipment every step of the way! I cannot imagine a better service from people who know wine and love to share that knowledge. You have a customer for life! Cheers, J Mason

The wine was delivered by GSO Courier early this am and was in perfect shipping condition. The bottle temperature was cool to the touch which is amazing given we have been hitting 37C every day for the last week here in our California summer.
Well done!
I have put the wine into our temperature controlled bottle storage to let them rest for a week (mostly for the 3 bottles of red). I did put one of the Rosés in the frig which we will try tomorrow because we are out to dinner tonight with friends.
Your Rose of Virginia is my favorite rosé, above French and Californians that we have consumed with Tablas Creek “Dianthus” from near Paso Robles being a second.
Now that we have experienced a shipment from you, I am sure we will order a couple of cases more but will wait until weather is cooler for us and the wine.
Again thanks for an excellent wine and the good service.
Cheers,
Richard A.

The wine arrived last week in good shape - nothing broken or leaked. Your packing design is impressive. Laying it down for a couple of months to settle in. Looking forward to enjoying it. Thanks very much

Australia Tasting Room is a very fine company, with professional direction and management. I appreciate the friendly service, and all your efforts above and beyond to make all deliveries happen. Most impressive were the instant answers and responses any time I had a question. All during a pandemic! Pretty amazing when you think about it.
Highest regards,

P.S. One Contact, One Process, and One Delivery - customers and wine treated equally and expertly, with care. You really can’t beat that! Great job.

Hi,
Glad to hear my last case from our trip is on its way!
Your service has been very helpful in getting my wine shipped safely to me. All previous four cases arrived safely.
Now I need to order my “wine needs” via internet and use your services again.
Best regards,

Amazing professionalism and kind assistance from Australia Tasting Room!
I was experiencing confusion with a wine order from a winery in Australia and Australia Tasting Room actually intervened to help clarify things. And not just with a simple email, but with a phone call!! We spoke directly and sorted out the details. It was a wonderful reminder that chivalry and quality customer service still exists!! We will use them in a heartbeat!!

Our twelve pack of Tasmanian treats arrived yesterday afternoon without a scratch on them! Now we get to enjoy drinking them with family and friends. Hopefully we can toast some excellent defensive draft picks by the Packers soon!
Thanks for an excellent experience with Australia Tasting Room!
If you ever find yourself in Wisconsin, let us know. We're only an hour away from Lambeau.

Thank you again for your expedited attention to our order and its shipping. The wine has arrived in wonderful condition, and we shared a bottle with one of our friends on Friday who enjoyed it as much as we did.
We will continue to watch for its availability in our area, and we wish you continued success.
Best regards,
