Sourced from the Stonewell vineyard, the fruit was basket pressed and aged in 50% new Nevers French barriques for twenty months. Super saturated inky black colour with very deep black crimson red hue. The nose exhibits lifted aromas of cassis / ripe blackcurrant followed by a touch of liquorice, cedar and spice with a light spearmint overlay. Full bodied, the palate possesses intense, fully ripened Cabernet flavours of blackcurrant, cassis, an interesting touch of spearmint, followed by hints of cedar and spice. Solid but fine grained tannins. Excellent depth with long ripe blackcurrant, spearmint, cedar and spice aftertaste.
Alc 15.0%

Other reviews....
Strong purple-crimson; a very rich, very ripe and uncompromisingly full-bodied wine; certainly the tannins are ripe, and there is a happy union between black fruits and chocolate, but cabernet is seldom happy with this burden of alcohol, magnified by the oak.
