“An 82/18% blend from three cabernet and two merlot vineyards; matured for 16 months in French oak (50% new). Excellent crimson-purple; the bouquet is aromatic and inviting, the palate with a balance of blackcurrant, mulberry, black olive and herbs, oak adding its own flavour as a bonus.” Drink to 2028

“I’m not smug about these things, but I’ve often heard people say they think ‘Cabernet Merlot’ is a type of grape, as is ‘Semillon Sauvignon Blanc’. Blackberry, blackcurrant, vanilla, chocolate and olives. Its medium bodied, delivers red and black fruit flavour with a savoury twist, plump and grainy tannin, some vanilla mouth-perfume, and a firm long finish. Very good.”

“Beautiful blended red from Coonawarra. Smooth and seamlessly structured with fine, silky tannins and super-fine oak playing their part. Leafy and cedary notes with intense, classically Coonawarra dark fruits. Already showing a degree of complexity with a lingering finish.”
