Jubey, dark pastille aromatics with a whiff of leafiness and tobacco. The flavours are juicy and dark, there's plenty of plummy and mulberry fruits teamed with grippy tannin, a little leafiness and crunchy acidity. A generously-flavoured, enjoyable wine and excellent value

72% cabernet, 28% shiraz. It spends time in oak but the idea is that it show minimal oak flavour; designed to be light and elegant. Good colour, fragrance, texture and drinkability; the flavours flow evenly and well. Minted blackcurrant is the essential flavour profile, redcurrant and dust as sidelines. For everyday drinking it will take some beating. Drink to 2026.
