2024 Howard Park
Leston Cabernet Sauvignon

Distinguished Sites
Cabernet Sauvignon from our Leston vineyard, located in the heart of Margaret 
River, is crafted to highlight the distinctive varietal and regional qualities of our 
best sites. In the temperate climate of Margaret River, Cabernet Sauvignon is at 
home. Here the maritime influences temper the extremes of seasons, and allow 
Cabernet Sauvignon to thrive.
TASTING NOTES
A poised and expressive Cabernet, the 2024 Leston opens with layered aromatics 
of blackcurrant, mulberry and dark cherry entwined with eucalyptus, tobacco 
leaf and black olive. Subtle nuances of dusty cocoa, graphite and freshly ground 
coffee add depth and intrigue, lending a distinctly Margaret River sensibility. The 
palate is finely detailed and assured, echoing the fruit profile of the nose with 
cassis, plum and a hint of pomegranate, seamlessly interwoven with savoury herbs 
and black liquorice. A vibrant, cranberry-edged acidity brings lift and definition 
through the mid-palate, while supple, finely shaped tannins provide structure and 
flow. There is an effortless harmony between fruit richness, savoury complexity 
and freshness, giving the wine immediate appeal, yet ample substance and 
balance to ensure graceful development over time.
VINTAGE
The 2024 vintage was early, compressed and fast-paced. The cool, wet 2023 
winter weather disappeared quickly and was replaced by a dry, warm spring. 
Above-average temperatures and almost no rainfall led to early budburst and 
perfect growing conditions for vines. Canopy growth was good, flowering 
occurred early and went through quickly, leading to early veraison in all varieties. In 
late December, colour could be seen in Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, pointing 
to a very early vintage, and January saw a continuation of the dry conditions.
2024 was also a vintage with abundant marri blossom, known as a “mast year”, 
and there was little to no grape loss due to the native silvereye birds. This usually 
occurs every four years or so, as it takes the trees time to muster sufficient 
resources to produce a massive flowering.
Harvest began in mid-January, four weeks earlier than usual. Fruit continued 
to ripen rapidly and early attention to detail in the vineyard paid dividends. 
Picking dates needed careful consideration to ensure physiological maturity with 
vibrancy of fruit expression, and the narrow windows of opportunity to harvest 
required skilful scheduling of vineyard and winery teams.
All varieties reached full maturity earlier than we are used to, and lower yields in 
some varieties and vineyards led to a concentration of aromas and flavours. This 
bodes well for some superb quality wines from 2024 in both Margaret River and 
Great Southern.

WINEMAKING
Small parcels were hand-picked and hand sorted to remove any unwanted 
material before fermentation. Fermentation occurred in closed stainless steel 
fermenters and small open top fermenters. Selected parcels remained on skins 
after fermentation to further enhance the tannin profile while others were pressed 
at dryness to capture fruit vibrancy. Each batch was matured separately in order 
to build a wine history over time. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation 
and was matured in French oak (~ 25% new) for 18 months prior to blending, 
fining and bottling.

A beautifully drawn fun book.
Format: Paperback
This was an extremely fun book that works as another chapter in the Energon Universe Image is building. The art work is fantastic and the story is full of action and is told in a fast pace. Another reviewer complained it is woke and forced diversity but I did not see that at all. If you love GI Joe you will love this book.

A great pick up for new Joe fans
Format: Paperback
A very fun read! I’m a fan of Kelly Thompson in general and this did not disappoint. I recommend it if you liked Thompsons other work. It’s a bit reminiscent of her Black Widow run.

Shoehorned Diversity

Two beloved female characters who are decades old turned gay. Not the gift I was looking to give a new generation of Joe fans.

Please keep Kelly Thompson away from G.I. Joe!
Format: Paperback
I only read this because it was one of the mini series that was setting up the new Energon Universe of GI Joe. The other minis were quite good and I hoped this one would be the same. Nope. It’s terrible. Terrible dialogue, terrible characterization and terrible reimagining of several popular characters. The plot is bare bones, poorly executed, and often so contrived and cliched I'm convinced Thompson must have watched a bunch of ninja movies from the 80s before writing this and thought she was being clever for ripping them off. The art is passable but the artist definitely needs to work on his fight choreography and stop drawing women so jacked. Scarlett and Jinx look like they have been taking steroids. And let’s not forget that Thompson loves writing lesbians, so it’s heavily implied Scarlett and Jinx are a couple. Because that’s what modern audiences want to see, more historically hetero characters made gay. Thompson, like Tom King, needs to be kept far away from popular characters and just stick to creating her own original stories where she can work out her issues and fetishes away from the rest of the mainstream comic reading public. And if I ever see her name on another G.I. Joe comic I will most definitely avoid it like the plague. Just my two cents.

Painful Read
Format: Paperback
This is a painful read. I only got it because I’m reading the rest of the EU Booms.
