At a touch over $25 this is a great value release, attractive now but built to reward medium term cellaring. In terms of winemaking the wine saw extended maceration on skins prior to being pressed to French oak for 16 months.
Plum and blueberry fruit get an attractive overlay of generous French oak on the nose, with a faint note of damp earth. The wine is medium to full bodied with a voluptuous frame that pits juicy blackberry and plum against generously spicy and svelte oak influences. The finish is framed by milk chocolate infused tannins that gives length to dark berry fruits.
