The wine shows cool climate freshness and a surprising intensity, with spice and gentle game notes. It is layered with fragrant sweet, ripe cherry and blackberry flavours, with underlying almond and white pepper tones. The palate is seamless, sleek and polished, with firm, ripe tannins. The wine was aged in French oak barrels (25% new) for 12 to 18 months. Drinking well now, but is suitable for cellaring for at least 10 years.

Dense deep fresh red colour. The nose shows red berries, typical Cabernet herbs, spicy toasty oak and tobacco. Mouth filling and weighty but not clumsy on the palate, finishes crisp and lingering.

Dense, rich, plum red in colour. The presence of blackberries, pepper, and spice show the slight dominance of the Cabernets. The complex palate identifies an elegant balance between the classic oak tannins and equality between fresh rip berry flavours and ripe integrated varietal tannins.

Opaque centre with lighter brick red edges, young and vibrant red.Starts out more herbaceous with lavender and thyme in the lead. Cabernet franc much more predominant with some whiffs of coffee. Then comes the cassis, raspberry and perfumey rose petals. Elegant and accessible entry, fullness is a given. A seamlessly put together palate. Beautiful balance of fruit, wood and acidity.

Spicy aromas of black pepper and mulberry mingle with the plum flavours in this soft and approachable wine.

A complex nose of berry fruit that is complemented by Fynbos (heather/bracken) and spice aromas. Palate is layered with flavours of cloves, leathery spice and red fruit. A dry and savoury finish.

Opaque blood red in colour with a vibrant, heady nose of red berry fruit and exotic spices. Medium to full bodied with an anchoring, underlying structure and densely packed black berry and cherry fruit flavours. Finishing polished, with rounded spicy oak.

This blend was aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. The wine is packed with dark
fruit flavours, and shows a pleasant spiciness on the palate. There is a refreshing sweet
blackcurrant finish. Will reward cellaring.
