An excellent follow on to the 2014 Hannah’s Hill, the 2015 replaces the Merlot component with Malbec. Matured in a mixture of new and older French oak for a period of 16 months the wine is a blend of 84% Mount Barker Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Frankland River Malbec. Superb totally opaque black dark red colour with a deep bright dark red hue. Nosing reveals blackcurrant and mulberry aromas overlaid with hints of bay leaf and cedary tobacco characters trailed by some spice end notes. The palate holds rich blackcurrant and mulberry fruit flavours within an elegant framework. Nuances of dried herbs, light tobacco and spicy cedar are also apparent. Slightly dryish yet fine grained tannins are perfectly integrated with the fruit. Excellent length with a long spicy blackcurrant, mulberry, dried herbs and subtle cedary tobacco character aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc 14%
