A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet Franc, this wine is all about balance: between structure and finish, fruit and minerality. Ripe blackberries, spices and the mineral elements on the nose follow through onto the plate with huge weight on the mid-palate. |
Exuberant cherry-berry, coffee bean, uncured tobacco, cedar, gravel and graphite aromas complicated by violet and white flowers, minerals and vanillin oak. Juicy on entry, then moderately concentrated in the middle, with redcurrant, tobacco and oak flavors and a whiff of burning tobacco. . .”
