Situated on the inland part of the McLaren Sand Hills area, the soil is indeed sandy loam overlying sand and clay, the vines 42 years old. The wine shares the excellent colour of the group, with a fragrant bouquet punctuated by soot/earth/olive nuances along with the black fruits. The palate soars and dives like a kite, with juicy fruit and a tannin mille-feuille, those tannins perfectly pitched.
