Plush, expressive and very charming. Rich plum, black cherry and black currant with a hint of mint and chocolately oak.
A mild summer with a long ripening period and lower yields resulted in good natural acidity and some of the best varietal flavours seen for many years. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vineyards were selected and monitored to select fruit that exhibited the ripe black fruit characters with balanced sugar ripeness.
Fermentation at warmer temperatures of 20-22°C for five to seven days to optimise the extraction of desirable flavour and colour whilst retaining a soft tannin structure.
On the international wine show circuit this wine was equal medalled with some of Australia's biggest names, including...

Katnook, and Wolf Blass to name but a few.
This wine also equal medalled some of the world's best blends from France, USA, South Africa and Spain.
