A fleshy and ripe-fruited rendition fitting of the vintage. Layers of white peach, lemon curd and nougatine, with cedary, toasty oak. It's a little flinty, a little tangy and a little flirty. There are neat savoury edges. All in all, it's very moreish. - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

'This is predominantly the Mendoza clone which is clearly evident in the complexity and power which are hallmarks of this clone, most famously known for its impact on WA wines. It has been sourced from B and E block fruit with select parcels whole bunch pressed to tank and racked with full solids into French oak barriques and puncheons, of which 33% were new. Mainly indigenous yeasts were used in the fermentation, after which it spent 11 months in in Taransaud and Mercury French oak. It’s textured with a more grapefruit roasted almond character. There’s a slightly nutty nougat character in the palate with a little oatmeal cereal influence. Has a dry savoury minerality on the finish. The savoury influence shows through with a trace of varietal popcorn' Ray Jordan
