Winemaker Comments:

Ian McKenzie

Colour

Vibrant, deep red

Nose

Typical of classic cool-climate cabernet, this wine has distinctive capsicum and tomato leaf aromas against a background of appealing French oak and sweet berried fruit.

Palate

The medium bodied palate meets the promise of the bouquet and delivers classy French oak and mocha complexities with nuances of blackcurrant. Fine-grained tannins add to the length and texture.
