The majority of this wine was sourced from Frankland River (95%) which is well suited to Malbec due to the warm days and cold nights. The heavier red soil helps to build structure whilst the cool nights help enhance colour. A small Margaret River component provides additional flesh.
Superb colour, inky black at its core with a deep dark red black hue. Fragrant red currant and mulberry scents are overlaid by dusty cedar with bay leaf, earth and spice ensuing. Rich red to blackcurrant and liquorice fruits have excellent depth and ample flesh on the medium to full bodied palate. Elements of dusty cedar, tobacco, dried herbs and spice sit underneath. Bright youthful acidity and slightly chalky tannins add structure. Delicious red to blackcurrant fruits extend long onto the aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%
