Color: The wine is a dense crimson colour with youthful purple hues.
Nose: A rich and vibrant nose displaying an enticing combination of violets, black pepper, blackcurrant and coffee bean complemented by spicy, vanillin french oak.
Palate: A seamless, complete palate combining cherry, blackberry and plum with cinnamon, pepper and licorice leading to a complex finish of mocha and vanilla supported by fine grained tannins.French oak supports quality Shiraz fruit from the famed Great Southern region in the West. Fruit from both the Frankland River and Mt Barker sub-regions is included. Fermentation is in small open fermenters with maturation in a mix of new and seasoned French oak for nine months, before blending and a further nine months maturation. The colour is a near opaque magenta. Cherries, leather, truffles and black fruits all weave their way throughout the aromatics. There is some slightly sappy acidity and a sour cherry note on the palate. Good length, a silky texture and solid tannins offer a promising future so it will provide pleasure for at least the next decade. Good value here.
92 pts - Kim Brebach (BWU20)Another young red with no lack of grip, and some pristine fruit. Fresh and intense, just needs time.
