Notes
"A 50/50 blend. No bunches. Old French oak.
Fresh blackberry, exotic spice, a little grilled meat, dried flowers. It’s medium-bodied, but very concentrated, deep and chewy with a distinct ‘mineral’ character to acidity, dark tobacco, and a long slate-y finish. So distinctive and really very impressive."

"A blend of 50/50% shiraz/malbec. A gorgeous bright crimson purple. I've not come across this blend before but from what was a great vintage in the Yarra Valley, this totally works. Dark plums, blackberries, smoked meats and black pepper aromas abound. The stylish palate is concentrated and very well balanced with ripe, fine-grained tannins rounding out a wine to be enjoyed now and over the next five to seven years – if not longer."
