72% cabernet, 28% shiraz. It spends time in oak but the idea is that it show minimal oak flavour; designed to be light and elegant. Good colour, fragrance, texture and drinkability; the flavours flow evenly and well. Minted blackcurrant is the essential flavour profile, redcurrant and dust as sidelines. For everyday drinking it will take some beating.
93 points Special Value Campbell Mattinson winecompanion.com.au
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.
