Deep rich red/purple colour, with a first aroma of coconut, emerging hints of spice and toast. Very perfumed in the final analysis. Hints of coffee grounds. Full-bodied and rich, but certainly not a blockbuster, it has lovely balance, and is complete and long. There's a nice touch of firmness at the finish. If anything, it tastes more Australian than American: it has that Penfolds touch. (78% cabernet, 22% shiraz. Napa 45%, Sonoma 35%, Paso Robles 20%. 16 months in American oak, 40% new, 60% one year old) Drink 2021 - 2040.
