Blk + Blu Blend No. 4 2023

In some ways a throwback to a different era with its use of 100% American oak. But it seems to work well. The fruit is rich and dark with a slightly liqueur cherry flavour complemented by the sweet oak flavours. It’s soft and plush with plenty of vanilla essence and spicy characters evident. It comes from Heathcote, so the distinctive ironstone minerality complements the lush fruit rather well.
