Blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, and 5% Carmenere, this has a fresh, medium-high intensity nose of sweet wood spices, red & back currant, cassis, plum, meaty, and with a touch of pepper spice aromas adding further complexity. It's full-bodied on the dry palate with gently spiced aromas replays supporting the sweet, ripe fruited flavours. Acids are fresh, while the tannins have a subtle grip. Very good length on the long-lasting finish. Tasted Nov. 2023.
