Reviews and Ratings

This showcases its breeding – it’s from one of the top vineyard sites in the country – and the warm 2007 vintage. Expressive aromas of ripe cherry, spice-laden black currant and toasty notes soar from the glass. Medium weight with good texture, the rich and complex flavours persist throughout – succulent ripe dark berry fruit, mocha and pie cherry. It’s well sculpted with deft balance, seamlessly integrated oak and firm tannin underpinning. There are adornments of mint and tobacco on the lengthy finish. Source: Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
