The wine is well balanced with a deep rich colour and concentrated berry characters and flavours. A great Coonawarra blend exhibiting a complex palate, good tannin structure and a firm finish.
The wine has been matured in a mix of new (100%) French & American oak for 18 months, allowing vanillan and spicy oak flavours to develop with a splash of Merlot further softening the wine. The wine is an 80:20 blend.
