Review/Comments

Offering fine value, this estate-grown red was matured for 11 months in mostly French oak casks (22% new), and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Deep, bright ruby, it is mouthfilling, savoury and supple, with concentrated, ripe cherry, plum and spice flavours, showing good complexity, that build to a finely textured, harmonious finish. Delicious now, it should be at its best 2021+. $39 (A, US)
