Dark cherry and red berries, sage and toast, vanilla perfume. Medium to full bodied, plum and well-rounded, with powdery soft tannin, balanced acidity, some savoury tarry flavour, but pretty much fresh and friendly. Finish is solid too. Nicely done.

If you think the flavours and texture of this wine more akin to the Eden Valley than the Barossa Valley, you're probably right - three of the four estate vineyards are in the Eden Valley, on in the Barossa Valley. The scented pepper, spice and black cherry of the wine provide a lightness of foot to the medium-bodied palate, balance following the same line. Value+.
