Carefully selected fruit from one of McLaren Vale's best, and most gorgeous looking, blocks of cab' sauv', has produced a wine of structure and deeply intense flavours. Not at all heavy, there's a minerally/gravelly spine reflecting the vineyard's soil type, while the fruit flavours show early restraint and elegance along with obvious latent power as if cruising along evenly in a lower gear. As the wine opens up, moving into top gear, signature cabernet black currant flavours develop along with red fruit, cocoa powder tannins, cedar oak hints and savoury dried herbs. Decanting will allow the wine to show at its very best.
