Taste: 2020 – The nose is plush but lifted with subtle cedar wood and a slight creamy element. The palate is rich and full bodied, with blackcurrants, dark cherry and aged leather. Plenty of mouth coating, fine tannins with the new but well integrated oak.
Food Match: The velvety yet firm tanins make this a great match for game meats or beef. Would also pair excellently with a fabulously curated cheeseboard.
Variety: Merlot 75%, Cabernet Franc.
