Fruit is sourced for the Valley & Valley bottling from both Barossa and Eden Valley. Matured in 20% new oak. Classic Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of blackberries, thistle and sage leaf. Raw cocoa and tonka beans. Allspice, star anise and touch of vanilla bean. The palate is nipped and pulled in with blackberry fruit the centerpiece to the sweet oak tones. A good representation of the two Valleys’ ability to showcase Cabernet Sauvignon in its stylish and showy fashion. Serve with lamb shanks and mint sauce. Is drinking well now and has the ability to unfurl some more spices after 5-6 years in the cellar.
