blend of majority Cabernet Sauvignon with 18% Cabernet Franc and 12 % Petit Verdot in support. The wine has excellent structure and density on the palate, which is rich with cassis, blackberry, blueberry and fresh strawberry fruits. 16 months in predominantly old oak (around 20% new French barriques) adds breadth to the palate, while also imparting subtle notes of wood smoke, clove and a hint of hazelnut to the cedar and tobacco complexity.
