This blend is a selection of some of the best barrels from our 2018 vintage. This year the blend is made up of one barrel each of Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot. A wonderfully complex wine.

Deeply intense ruby colour. Pronounced aromas of black fruits - blackcurrants, plums and cherries with leather and tobacco. Dry with high acidity. High tannins, high alcohol. Black cherry flavours. Full bodied, long finish. Outstanding wine.

Let's begin with the color.....:intense deep purple with a claret edge. Long slow legs. The aroma is of blackberry and plum with a wisp of licorice. The wine is soft on the tongue and palate.....a delicate balance of the Shiraz and Viognier grapes. Finishes slightly dry.

Retails at $100 a bottle and it is worth every cent. A lovely wine. Raspberry, black fruits, vanilla, mint and eucalyptus. Some oak and medium tannins. Decent length.

Usual red berries and cherry in play here, but (call me insane?) I also caught a whiff of olive and ocean. Not my favourite blend ever, but entirely quaff-able. Interesting, smooth enough. Light flavors, with some hidden, subtle layers.
