Tasting Notes
Deep, inky, ruby red. |
|
Rose petals, blood plums, dark liqorice and graphite. |
|
Brimming with red currants, goji berries and a ripe plum centre dusted in nutmeg and charred cedar. Deeply concentrated in flavour and tannin, yet so structurally fine this wine flows through with an ethereal elegance. The finish persists with an autumnal perfume of fallen leaves and fading floral giving freshness and grace, drawing you back in for more. |

98/2% cabernet sauvignon/merlot matured in French barriques (16% new). All Coldstream fruit from two vineyards. A medium, bright crimson-ruby. Gorgeous aromatics with its bouquet of red and black fruits, a little cigar box and lightly crushed violets. The palate is both super elegant yet with good depth and persistence. Svelte tannins ensure this will age gracefully over at least the next 10 years, if not longer.

A stately, serious Pinot Noir where the word ‘structure’ feels appropriate. Firm ribbons of silty tannin, compact dark cherry, truffle and shiitake savoury elements with boysenberry uplifting in the mix. A dash of woody, brown spice lends some additional dimension too. Very perfumed, very long in flavour. A serious wine, delivering elegance and drinkability.

Youthful, bright red and vibrant in the glass. Aromas of blackberry, bramble, violets, cedar, dried herbs, pot pourri, mulberry and ferrous earth. Bright, dark fruited, crunchy and punchy. There’s lovely structure, line and presence, with a very pure drive of fruit, tannin and perky acidity. Complex, layered and built for the long haul.
