Download Full Winemaker Note
A deep crimson red on a black base with a vibrant red hue.
Wine Bouquet
An array of attractive aromas including, tobacco leaves, cigar box, cinnamon, spice, cassis and mint. Ripe berry fruit is evident but not out of balance. The wine is rich, vibrant and fresh.
Wine Palate
A rich rewarding palate with classic flavours of cassis and ripe berry married to French oak characters like tobacco. Classic cabernet sauvignon structure is displayed with intense, almost sweet, fruit at the start and into the mid palate. The elegant tannins offer great length and persistence of flavour. A well-balanced wine with great varietal expression, flavour intensity, and excellent tannin length.
Cellaring Notes
Immediately approachable but will cellar well to 2012, possibly longer.
