It is quite low in oak, with just a smidge of vanillin showing faintly on the mid palate, but otherwise the brambly, blackcurrant flavours demand all the attention. Fine silky tannins integrate with the fruit to produce an approachable well rounded wine with an extended length.
An exceptional wine at the price: vibrant, unmistakably Coonawarra to smell and taste, bursting with flavours of blackcurrant, mulberry and herbs, and fine, elegant and juicy in the mouth. It is quite low in oak, with just a smidge of vanillin showing faintly on the mid palate, but otherwise the brambly, blackcurrant flavours demand all the attention. Fine silky tannins integrate with the fruit to produce an approachable well rounded wine with an extended length.
Quite a complex wine! Drink now, but it should age beautifully for 3 – 5 years.
"When it comes to affordable reds for everyday drinking it's hard to go past this delicious blend" Winsor Dobbin, Launceston Examiner
"The wine delivers Coonawarra’s deep, ripe, berry flavours, medium body and elegant structure, without the overlay of oak or other winemaker inputs seen in wines made for cellaring." Chris Shanahan,
"If you like clasically minty Coonawarra reds you'll enjoy this." Ralph Kyte-Powell, The Age
