A great wine that will deliver all you want in a cool climate cabernet without breaking the bank. All the juicy dark red berries we love come to the fore alongside bramble, dark chocolate and violet characters, all wrapped up in earthiness and fine-grained tannin. It’s a medium-bodied red that’s soft, fleshy and elegant. If you’re keen to see what a bit of cellaring will do, give it 3-5 years.

Dark chocolate, blackcurrant, a pleasant tobacco and leafy character. Medium-bodied, fine powdery tannin, attractive ‘adult’ flavour, in that it falls to savoury and gently herbal, rather than simple fruit sweetness. Crisp finish. So nicely turned out and good to drink. Thumbs up.
