Notes
"It is really hard to believe that this is the 10th edition of this truly special blend of vine-ripened Shiraz and Petit Verdot. The original blend was almost discovered by accident when sloshing an informal sample of both in a glass, standing out in a stunning display of symbiotic partnership. It was simple – they just complimented each other.
The Shiraz for its mid-palate core richness and mouth-filling dark berry depth, and the Petit Verdot for its acid structure, dark color, and ‘plummy-violet’ aromatic profile.
Petit Verdot is definitely the dominant character pound for pound – such an overlooked, wonderful variety capable of blending with the harmony of a ‘merlot-on-roids’ and having this distinct character of unyielding time-resistant acid and tannin, saturated color, and merlot ‘plummy-ness’ that had me at first sight."
