The colour is vibrant deep ruby red with a crimson hue. Fresh mint, eucalyptus and spice make up the lifted nose. The palate is soft and well balanced, with blackberries and cassis flavours with supple soft tannins.
The Lynn family have been residents of the Penola - Coonawarra district for over four generations, starting out as Store-Keepers and then graduating into grazing. The property on which Majella now stands was originally owned by Frank Lynn and bought by his nephew, George, in 1960 for Merino wool production. Majella now has 61ha under vine and makes some of the finest wines in Coonawarra.

"72% cabernet, 28% shiraz. It spends time in oak but the idea is that it show minimal oak flavour; designed to be light and elegant. Good colour, fragrance, texture and drinkability; the flavours flow evenly and well. Minted blackcurrant is the essential flavour profile, redcurrant and dust as sidelines. For everyday drinking it will take some beating."
92 Point Rated - Campbell Mattinson The Wine Front
"You have to admire the balance of this wine. It has texture, tannin and curranty fruit flavour and while it’s not a team of champions it tastes like a champion team. All the flavours and components, as light-ish as they are, pull together in harmony. Value drinking at its best."
90 Point Rated - Aaron Brasher The Real Review
"Jubey, dark pastille aromatics with a whiff of leafiness and tobacco. The flavours are juicy and dark, there's plenty of plummy and mulberry fruits teamed with grippy tannin, a little leafiness and crunchy acidity. A generously-flavoured, enjoyable wine and excellent value"
