In 1863, the bushranger John Montford, wearing a brown handkerchief to cover his face and brandishing a revolver, robbed the mail coach a few miles from Padthaway in a town today known as Naracoorte. Making off with over £75 in cheques, Montford’s brazen act scandalised the local population. On arrest, the said brown handkerchief with eye-holes cut was found in his swag, providing the evidence needed for his conviction.
2007 The Trial of John Montford Cabernet Sauvignon
90 Points
Ripe and supple, a big wine with finesse, showing spicy, savory overtones to the lingering dark cherry and mint flavors. Drink now through 2012.
2007 The Trial of John Montford
90 Points
Dark ruby-coloured, the wine receives a pleasant herbal lift from the Cabernet Franc component. Aromas of cigar-box, cinnamon, cassis and black currants leas to a medium to full-bodied, savoury wine in which earth notes, spice box and dried herbs make an appearance. Ripe, balanced, and lengthy, it will evolve for 1-2 years and drink well from 2011-2019.
