A spicy, brooding aromatic dry red. The bouquet is fragrant with black fruits and loaded with spice and pepper. The palate has dark chocolate and delicate cinnamon oak and finishes with lovely black cherry and plum. Soft sandy ripe abundant tannins frame the finish and herald this as a wine that will age gracefully for many years.
Established in 1976, Petaluma has unlocked the great potential of Riesling from the Hanlin Hill Vineyard in Clare, pioneered the Piccadilly Valley and Mount Barker in the Adelaide Hills and cemented the pedigree of the Evans Vineyard in Coonawarra, South Australia. Winemaker Andrew Hardy and the Petaluma team firmly adhere to the tenet that if the vineyards are great, and the winemaking responsive, the wines will be outstanding. Indeed, Andrew sees his role as custodian of the vineyards.
93 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion
"A typical varietal mix for this wine with this release: 57% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 3% shiraz. 18 months in 90% new French oak. Fragrant mulberry aromas and mint are dominant on the bouquet, the toasty oak a quiet contributor. Smoothly textured and long on the palate, the fruit builds in depth as it goes along, with the finish built more on acid than tannin." Drink by 2032."
