Tasting Notes:

Deep garnet purple with crimson hue. Intense aromas of cassis, black cherries, and mulberries with slight touches of five spice, sandalwood, and mint leaves. Quite a big powerful example of Cabernet Sauvignon due to the powerful combination of fruit and oak. Full bodied and dense, it's generously layered with rich texture and silky mouth feel, combined with cassis, blueberry, game and spicy oak flavours.

Technical:

Sourced from an old single vineyard site in the McLaren Vale ranges on what they call the golden miles, which I think the best fruit comes from. Soils are red and have high ironstone content, they are also quite bony (stony) so crop levels and low and fruit intensity is awesome!

The fruit was hand picked over a week period as requested by the winemaker which was easy to do due to the perfect vintage conditions and gives each individually batch some distinction although it was all from the same vineyard block. The wine was hand crafted in small open top fermenters and had extended time on skins when fermenting to add further complexity and fruit characters. Ferments were relatively cold and were pumped over by hand twice daily. A small portion of the wine was fermented in barrel to add some oak complexity early on. The wine was then matured in a mixture of seasoned French and new American oak for 18 months prior to final blends being done and bottling.

Drinking perfectly now, although it is clear with so much natural fruit if cellared well, will last for around 10 years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jono Cab from Great young red I bought this wine to drink during a Christmas in July function, the wine is magnificent as long as you really let it breath. It is criminal to drink all of it now so six bottles have been buried in the cellar.

Rated 5 out of 5 by John from Outstanding wine This is an outstanding wine now - fruity, aromatic and beautifully textured - and it will be a brilliant example of McLaren Vale cabernet sauvignon with a few more years in the bottle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Donny from Recommended by your Dan. Wine Not over sharp with plenty of fruit on the palate.
