Description
// 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc
"Medium bodied with a purple hue, this wine is perfumed and fine. On the palate, red and black currants show the higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in this year’s Blend. A touch of coffee and cedar are delicately balanced with a fine tannin finish." - Winemaker Notes
"Fruit from 45-year-old vines on the Paulownia and Balnaves Old Shiraz blocks; matured in large format French oak (48% new) for nine months. Elevated pepper spice and floral notes make for an attractive introduction. Ripe, red berried fruit flavours rush straight up in support, though a tension to both the acidity and tannin makes all this exuberance feel controlled. This is a medium-bodied wine that's been turned out impeccably – it will drink well both young and with some years on it." - 94 Points (Special Value), Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion
