17/20 Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com "75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot. Vines planted in the early 80s and 2001. Each parcel was fermented separately in 2,000-litre vats and aged in French barriques for 10 months. ‘Grown, made and bottled by the Brodericks.’ A remarkably elegant blend that whistles with cool red fruit and cool green menthol. Satin-ribbons-wrapped-around-tree-bark tannins. Little nifty lift of Sichuan pepper towards the finish. Everything about this wine is cool and polished and understated. I don’t know who the Brodericks are, but they make a damn fine Cab/Merlot/PV blend."

From Sholto Broderick at Basket Range Wines:
This wine is the evolution of the style my father made using the same fruit; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. These vines were planted first in the early 1980s and at our new adjacent vineyard in 2001. Growing these varieties and making them into wine, I see the quality of the site and concentration of the fruit. Each block sits at a northern facing aspect on loamy clay over sandstone. The wine shows ripeness of tannin, structure and balance, while having energy and elegance. A reflection of an excellent site for these varieties. This is a Cabernet Sauvignon predominant blend (75%) with Merlot (19%) and Petit Verdot (6%). Each component was fermented in 2000L vats and matured in French barriques for 10 months.
The 2022 Estate Cabernet is a pretty special wine for me.
The 2021 Estate Cabernet was awarded the "Best Cabernet Trophy" at the Adelaide Hills Wine Show in 2022. I feel the 2022 vintage release is the best job of it I have made so far.
Only 230 dozen produced.
From Mike Bennie in The Wine Front:
"From the Basket Range, of course, and a blend of 75% cabernet sauvignon, 19% merlot, 6% petit verdot. Sholto Broderick guides the process here, a young fella with a lot of clever stuff going on in his head, and a steady hand on the idea of legacy for the family estate. This feels like a very mature human made it.
So even, so precise, so balanced, so serious yet so drinkable. Succulent texture, a freshness in the mix, dark cherry, faint mocha, liquorice, clove, blonde tobacco, alpine amaro characters in bouquet and palate. A web of emery board tannin shapes things nicely, the persistence is notable with graphite and crushed rock minerality finishing things in the distance, with a lick of clove spice there too. So wonderfully poised and offers concentration yet lift throughout. It’s decidedly serious. It’s fabulous".
