Using fruit from a couple of their McLaren Vale vineyards (Blewitt Springs to the north, Sellicks Hill to the south) and aged 12 months in oak.

This is quality McLaren Vale Cabernet at a banging hot price. Deep and dark in colour and loaded to the gunnels with deliciously ripe blackcurrant flavours with cedar, spice and a subtle smokiness.

Really, this is a wine you’d be happy shelling out $25+ with the gongs to back up its quality. Drink some now and over the next 5-6 years.
