Picture
Juicy Mulberry and crunchy cherry are the frontrunners here, together with underlying cassia bark and spice.   Seamless integration of soft tannin and fruit, with a taut line of acidity pulling it all together beautifully.  While the underlying savoury elements typical of our vineyard shine, they are encased in a medium frame with ripe fruit underpinning the lingering palate. Absolutely delicious drinking.

Screwcap.

70% Cabernet  Sauvignon
30% Cabernet Franc

 $35
