Written Notes

99 pts James Halliday, 99 points Tyson Stelzer

“Old vine fruit has tannins that melt in your mouth, like fucking Russian black caviar.”

51% Cabernet Sauvignon: Frankland River (Block 13, Justin’s), Coonawarra (Balnaves)

49% Shiraz: McLaren Vale

“2014 was spectacular.” Elegant and medium bodied at best. Finesse! Tannins are cabernet dominant; structured with bright acidity. Raspberry and blackcurrant on the nose, great length of flavour. Black and inky without weight. Lovely interplay between cabernet and shiraz.

Launch October 2018. RRP ~ $250

A 2016 vintage was made, Frankland River fruit was used again.
