Only the choicest fruit is selected for the The Hattrick each year, and the 2001, a blend of 50% Shiraz, 43% Grenache, and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, is a superb example of the full bodied yet elegant style of this limited release wine.

"The most serious effort from this estate, as well as the most expensive, is the 2001 The Hattrick, a blend of 50% Shiraz, 43% Grenache, and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon. It possesses a deep ruby/purple color, tremendous fruit, a flowery component on the palate, and surprising elegance as well as definition. Although it sees 70% new oak (mostly French), the wood is well-integrated. Drink it over the next 7-10 years."
