97 / 100"Hand picked and destemmed, four weeks on skins and pressed to barrel. A saturated crimson purple. This is both concentrated and perfumed. Aromas of blackberries, dark cherry and plums sit alongside a little cedar and mountain herbs. Medium to full bodied, this powerful and balanced wine manages to be both plush and structured, which means that while it can be enjoyed now, it also has excellent aging potential. A superb straight malbec."

Tasting Notes
With healthy yields, ideally timed rainfall, and ripening season temperatures, it was an idyllic season for cool climate wines. Chardonnay was a highlight the best in several years. Pinot Noir, enteral, perfumed, and outstanding. Higher yields and cooler conditions, favoured Shiraz and Cabernet, producing outstanding wines.

Aromas of boysenberry and mulberry jam, cedar, and white pepper.
Slightly grippy tannins, luscious, sweet dark fruits, with black plum and savoury dark chocolate.
