The wine is a dark red with an intense purple hue. The wine has distinct aromas of black cherries and ripe strawberries abound with secondary spice, sweet mocha and cigar box characters evident. this wine is medium to full-bodied with lush red berry, plum and cherry fruit characters. The fruit flavours are balanced by undertones of creamy mocha, spice & subtle savoury characters. The palate has a soft, velvety texture with grainy tannins through the mid-palate and a long, persistence to finish.
The wine was matured in a mixture of French & American oak barrels for a period of 6 months before being blended & bottled.
92 Point Rated - Bob Campbell The Real Review
"Intense, bright merlot occupying centre-stage with dark berry, liquorice, vanilla, chocolate-mocha and spicy oak in a supporting role. It occupies the middle ground between elegant and blockbuster. It has nice energy."
90 Point Rated - Jeni Port Wine Pilot
"The maker lets the fruit have its way and it’s all the better for it. It’s super appealing in brilliant purple. Fresh as a button with aromas of mulberry, cherry, leafiness and florals to the fore. Smooth on the palate with plenty of ripe plummy-ness and generous spice throughout. Oak to the background. Not a heavy wine and gets the merlot weight just right."
