At release, the wine is a dark red with an intense purple hue. The wine has distinct aromas of black cherries and ripe strawberries abound with secondary spice, sweet mocha and cigar box characters evident. The palate at release, this wine is medium to full-bodied with lush red berry, plum and cherry fruit characters. The fruit flavours are balanced by undertones of creamy mocha, spice & subtle savoury characters. The palate has a soft, velvety texture with grainy tannins through the mid-palate and a long, persistence to finish.
The wine was matured in a mixture of French & American oak barrels for a period of 6 months before being blended & bottled.

"Ruby black colour. Aromas and flavours of over ripe blackberry, tart pomegranate and cranberry, and bergamot tea with a medium-to-full body and a medium-to-long finish that presents nuances of tart pomegranate and cranberry, leather and herbs, and plum. A dark, rich and brooding Merlot with well balanced herbal, fruit and oak aromas that carry over to the palate."
Huon Hooke, The Real Review
"Deep, bright, youthful purple red colour, the aroma likewise fresh and young, fruit-driven and bright, with blueberry, blackberry and mixed-spice aromas. The wine is just medium bodied and nicely balanced with gentle tannins and immediate drinkability. The palate has medium intensity and length. Straightforward but good value."
