Cool year. Modest, moderate crop. Shift in oak emphasis: the first two wines spent two years in oak, this was pulled out after 18 months. Harvested at 13.5 Baume. A full 15 percent shiraz used in the blend. And while it’s a cooler, spicier, more complex wine, there’s a line of confectioned fruit running through its core – and the oak has yet to fully integrate. It will. This is a classic cabernet blend. Olive paste, dust, rich blackcurrant, cedar, gravel, sweet licorice. An attractive bitterness to the aftertaste, making it a sweet, savoury, bitter wine of supple, complete interest.
