"56.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, 2.5% Cabernet Franc. Poised between ripe raspberry and darker berries on the nose. The palate has pure blackcurrant fruit with a bitter cherry lift and a touch of tangerine rind. Shows as well as I had hoped – approachable, medium-full bodied and inviting. 60% new oak. 14% abv. 15% press wine.
