Description / Reviews
"Red and black fruited. Bay leaf, cassis, black cherry, blood plum and licorice. A fleshy mid palate delivers a modern approachable style of Coonawarra Cabernet. Layers of dark fruit, varietal herbs and subtle oak coated with sandy tannins. A line of acidity gives lift and freshness creating a wine for all occasions." - Penley Estate, Winemaker
"Coonawarra cabernet, of which 70% spent 12 months in French oak (65% new), the remainder matured in tank only. Freshness was clearly a priority of the winemaking team. Boysenberry, plum, juicy blackcurrant and grass-like characters burst energetically onto the palate. There's a chalk dust character in play here too, which is entirely varietal, along with crisp apple-like acidity. A gentle whisper of chocolate finishes off an attractive red wine." - 91 Points, Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion
