Tasting
Tom Carson and his team have been making exceptional wines for a long time, i recently had the opportunity to taste the wines that range from the red claw through to the Single Vineyards in one sitting, the thing that stood out was the consistency in mouthfeel and depth that is achieved across the board, with the quality of the Block C taking it to another level.
A deep red in the glass, great complexity on the nose, there is the quality varietal expression of red and dark fruits you expect from the region and variety, but it's the cinnamon like spice that lingers in the background that keeps you searching for more.
The wine has the flavour profile of a great pinot, plush and attractive upfront, gaining texture and complexity across the palate, yet restrained; building to a long and pronounced crescendo to finish. This is one for the cellar, and certainly worth the price.
