Wine Spectator
"92 pts ... A grippy, mouthfilling style, with delicious red currant, plum and fig fruit flavors laced with roasted apple wood, savory herb and iron notes. The long finish has cut and vivacity. Rock-solid. Drink now through 2017."
Winemaker's Notes
"Cherry and Chocolate aromas backed up by hints of spice from the French oak. A very elegant wine with huge tannin structure, lovely fruit and great mid palate weight. This spice oriented Cabernet Sauvignon is supported by chocolate, tobacco and aniseed flavours on the palate."
Technical Notes
"Fermented in open top fermentation vats, pressed and left to mature in French 300L barrels for 18 months. The Cabernet clones (6) are kept separate throughout vinification, each getting a unique treatment of yeast and wood. After 18 months, the different clones are blended, bottled and left to mature for at least 18 months before release. 15% alc."
