The palate is medium-bodied with raspberry and cherry characters. Tannins are fine and supple giving a silky long finish. Already wonderfully balanced. Cellaring: Medium term. 8—10 years. What the experts say
“Mixed berries, clean earth, dark chocolate and licorice, spice and vanilla oak - lightly perfumed and beautifully presented. I thought there might have been a slight attractive grassiness about it at times that I just might mention. It’s medium bodied and feels fluid, clean and fresh - a wine with energy and life. All red and blue fruits with a little pepper, fine oak and supple smooth fine grained dry tannins that glide through the mouth and off into the distance with a minimum of effort. Lovely wine and a particularly charming one too”. 94 Points.
Gary Walsh—Winorama—28th July 2008
"Bright colour; the inclusion of 5% co-fermented viognier works well, taking the wine outside the usual context of Hunter shiraz into lifted red fruit territory; finishes with fine tannins". Screwcap. 14º alc. Rating 94.
