94 pts “Uniting two-thirds Barossa Valley (high Moppa) and one-third Eden Valley (Hutton Vale), this is a Cabernet that delivers the compact depth of Barossa with all the tension of this cool season. The result is textbook varietal integrity of blackcurrants, cassis and cigar box, well supported by high class dark chocolate French oak. Firm, fine tannins and bright acidity make this a Cabernet for the future.” Tyson Stelzer, WBM, June 2024

94 pts “The inaugural release of John Duval’s Compono cabernet sauvignon sourced from Hutton Vale farm in the Eden Valley with a small component (10%) of fruit from Moppa, aged 15 months in French oak, 20% new. An elegant representation of Barossan cabernet. Ripe, detailed blackberry and black cherry fruits with hints of sage, licorice, blackcurrant leaf, softly spoken cedar tones, violets and earth. Refined, graceful and medium bodied in its carry, finishing chalky, bright and pure.” Dave Brookes, Wine Companion, August 2024

93+ pts “The 2022 Compono Cabernet is a bright, fleshy, aromatic wine, with pliable tannic structure and a cavalcade of dark forest fruits. This is exotic and a little chewy and, most importantly, shaded with nuances of graphite and bramble, blueberry and star anise. Eden Valley is at a higher elevation with greater diurnal range than the valley floor, and this no doubt contributes to the natural acid and effortless balance of fruit and tannins.” Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, June 2024

92 points “The expressive and elegant 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Compono, a blend of Barossa Valley and Eden Valley fruit, delivers poised and refined aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf and eucalypt with well-integrated French oak. Compact and midweight, with perfumed violet flavors topped by gravelly complexity, this wine is quite sophisticated but needs time to build.” Angus Hughson, Vinous, July 2024
