Description
"Upon purchasing the Koomilya vineyard in 2012, I saw it as an ideal place to create a blend that included varieties that, I believe, will see McLaren Vale into the future. The blend under the purple cap has changed from vintage to vintage and may change again, but this blend feels right and tastes unmistakably Koomilya. Aromas of blackberry, fruits of the forest, briar, iodine, cinnamon, clove, violets and split red wood lead the rush of flavours on to the palate, adding black cherry, satsuma plum, cherry blossom, allspice and fresh bay leaves. A depth of flavour intertwined with supple tannins. A slick entry opens out to an expansive back palate with filigreed and pretty edges. The medium weight carries intensity through the middle of the palate and chases orange rind and cardamom through to the energetic finish. An intentionally delayed release makes for perfect drinking now but will only develop greater complexity with time in a cool cellar." - Winemaker Notes
