About this product
Aromas of bright boysenberry, blood plums and liquorice. Classy oak adds mocha and spice to palate that's bursting with luscious fruit. Medium bodied with soft tannins and a lingering finish.

More oak on this as the moniker ‘Reserve’ so often implies. It doesn’t work as well as the cabernet of the same tier, but boasts a density of fruit and intensity of flavour that copes with it reasonably well. Blue fruits, a telltale skein of pepper grind acidity, iodine and a bulwark of cedar-vanillin oak. Time will attest to the capacity of this wine to grow in stature. At this stage, I much prefer the Single Vineyard cuvee. Drink by 2027.
