A well-loved, everyday blend of Coonawarra heroes, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with cohort dashes of Malbec and Petit Verdot. The Cabernets rule the aromas with their cassis and neatly proportioned eucalypt notes – classic Coonawarra vibes if ever there was. Lovely palate balance and flavour-drive echo the black berried fruit feels with varietally familiar black-tea tannins providing a decent enough structure to give this value-plus wine a promising five to 10 years in the cellar.
