tasting notes
a blend of 70% cabernet sauvignon and 30% cabernet franc
a medium to full red purple
a complexly fragrant wine showing the aromatics of blackberry and raspberry intermingling with vanilla from the wine’s French oak maturation
clean, concentrated and soft dark berry fruit underpin a wine that shows fleshy youthful tannins. a wine easily approachable at such an early stage in its life but showing strong briary and dark berry fruit sweetness that will allow it to develop for man
cellaring potential of 3-5 years. Will accompany a varied range of foods and should suit
white meats in its youth and move into red meats as it develops some bottle character
the growing season started with good rains and a cool start to summer. this resulted in
a build up of flavour and a depth of intensity to the wine
