About this product

Good depth of fragrant and quite spicy, ripe berry fruit aromas with a hint of char-grilled sweet capsicum. Lovely sweet and smoky dark plum fruit flavours along with some delicious blackberry fruit characters. The wine is well structured with these generous dark berry fruit flavours complemented by the chewy, lightly drying tannins picked up from the skin contact during fermentation. Has the depth of fruit to be enjoyed now but also has the good structure to improve with further bottle age. Delicious now with everything from a cheese platter to a full flavoured meal.

Full rich deep colour, nose and fruit. Tannins are well balanced and almost soft enough to be called silky. A very nice local offering set to compete with "ordinary" Bordeau or Bordeau Superieur.

An ordinary blend

Has a distinct acidic base and my benefit from further cellaring, however, just an ordinary blend. Have had smoother and more satisfying cab-merlots at a lower price.
