Wine Colour
Dark red with purple hues.

Wine Bouquet
Lifted aromas of plum, red berries, licorice and a hint of chocolate. Subtle spice, cedar and vanilla characters from oak maturation add to the complexity of the bouquet.

Wine Palate
This is a medium-bodied wine with soft, round and gloriously fleshy palate. Delicious flavours of ripe plum, red berries abound with subtle licorice and chocolate evident. The finish is clean and long with soft, elegant tannins from the Cabernet Sauvignon.

Cellaring Notes
Ready for immediate enjoyment however with careful cellaring will develop further to 2010, possibly longer.

    Full Bottle
    This cassis to the fore and merlot berry fruit, plus it's bright and fresh - not overly sweet, with plenty of savoury nuances.

    Summer Entertaining
    Berries, plum, cassis, chocolate and a touch of liquorice make this a summer indulgence.

    Drink
    You get plenty for a modest investment in this wine. Warm ripe chunky fruit with a soft suppleness that makes for very appealing current drinking. Has deep blackcurrant and light minty characters with some dark chocolate infusion. Great value.
