Tasting note
A smart Bordeaux-style red with a strong cabernet influence; immensely satisfying aromas of cassis, dark plum, dried herb and subtle cedar notes on the nose. It is medium-full and generously fruited on the palate, beautifully enhanced by silky texture and elegant complexity. Tannins are fine and chalky, and provide perfect frame and structure to this classically expressed red. At its best: now to 2020. Score - 90. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, June 2015)
This dry and ruby coloured red showcases a complex nose releasing woody, spicy, fruity and vegetal scents. You will be charmed with this full-bodied wine revealing a broad texture, fleshy tannins and a medium finish.
The strength of Cabernet is partnered with supple Merlot and fragrant Malbec. Ripe fully flavored fruit aged in oak for softening and completing this wine.
