What reviewers say
“Deep red and packed a powerful punch of dark fruit aromas with mocha and mineral. The palate shows ripe blackberries and plums, with toasty oak, that the 4 grape blend adds complexity to the wine. The 2012 was an ideal growing season. The wine was aged for 18 months in French and American oak. I had this 6 months ago and, although young, had approachable fine tannins. The finish was well balanced with good acidity and a nice mineral edge. This wine should age well for a decade. A great value.”

Summary
Enticing aromas to the long, smooth finish. It's a blend of lush fruit with aromas of deep blackberry, currant and toasted oak. The wine has rich texture and flavours of cherry, plum and toasty vanilla. With ample fruit, good weight in the mid-palate and velvety tannins.
