Coonawarra is ideally suited to the production of the Bordeaux varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. A relatively cool climate, low yields, Terra Rossa soils, combined with the near perfect growing conditions of the 2006 vintage resulted in fruit of great flavour intensity. Produced from a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon & 15% Merlot, the wine was matured for 15 months in a combination of French and American oak casks.

An excellent Coonawarra Cabernet blend displaying plenty of weight and richness.
Deep crimson purple colour with purple mauve hue. Aromas of blackcurrant, mulberry and cedar with some cigar box end notes – quite perfumed showing good intensity. On the palate there’s plenty of weight with fully ripened flavours of blackcurrant, dark chocolate and mulberry with some supporting cedar on the back palate. The Merlot component adding some flesh to the blend. Fine grained tannins. Long aftertaste of blackcurrant and spice with a touch of tobacco. An excellent Coonawarra Cabernet blend displaying plenty of weight and richness.
