Deep crimson in colour with a magenta hue. Intense aromas of blueberries, violets and maraschino cherry, with nuances of dark berries and French oak. Silky and vibrant, the wine bursts with intense black fruits, the palate is structured with the mid-palate balanced by fine, long tannins.
Excellent late winter and early spring rains replenished the soil profile. Mild weather at flowering enabled an even fruit set. The weather leading up to and including harvest was dry and exceptionally mild which resulted in grapes that retained freshness, acidity and wonderfully expressive flavours.

94 Point Rated & 5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"It's fabulously expressed on the nose, showing cassis, subtle tobacco, anise and toasty oak aromas. The palate displays lovely concentration combined with refined texture and fine flow, leading to a sturdy yet supple finish. Wonderfully styled and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2033."
91 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review
"Deep, bright red-purple colour; the bouquet is likewise fresh and bright with cedar, dried-herb, flake tobacco aromas, the palate intense and focused, bright and deep, with an abiding elegance. A hint of tomato bush. Seems like a cool climate wine, and should reward some cellaring."
90 Point Rated - Bob Campbell The Real Review
"Deep, dense red with cassis, blackberry, dark cherry, cedar, black olive, dark chocolate, and spicy oak flavours supported by fine, sweet tannins and balanced by alcohol and fruit sweetness. Excellent value at this price."
