WINEMAKER'S NOTES
This wine is made from the classical blend of Cabernet and Merlot grapes from the Margaret River region and is an excellent example of the style – a wine that has style and structure from Cabernet and rich dark chocolate flavours and tannins from ripe Merlot. It is a classical regional style.

4.5 Stars & Top in Category. Huge and youthful wine with plenty of oak influence. Lovely blackberry fruit with nice tarry complexity; excellent length and drying tannins.
