95 Points & Top 100 Wines of 2019 James Halliday
Merlot (60%) from Avery, Silage, and Rise vineyards was combined with Cabernet Sauvignon (34%) from their new French ENTAV clones (338 + 412) Gumtree Cabernet Franc (5%) and Dunstan Petit Verdot (1%). This blend was then matured in fine grained French oak for 11 months.
Dark red in colour, the nose is intense with aromas blackberry, blueberry and anise combined with delicate smoky-coffee French oak. The palate is medium bodied with a soft round Merlot mouth-feel and black fruit flavours, with a touch of liquorice and blueberry.
“Changes under the bonnet have made one of Australia’s best value Bordeaux blends even better with new clones of cabernet and merlot. Perfectly balanced and weighted, cassis, bay leaf, blackcurrant and cedary oak all playing a role.” – 95 Points & Top 100 Wines of 2019 James Halliday
