"Growing season conditions: Outstanding conditions delivered red wines of exceptional brightness and intensity.

Winemaking: Cultured yeast ferment on skins in closed vessels, matured for short time in second and third use French barriques.

Tasting note: Bright. Vibrant flavours of juicy dark fruits, violet and laurel."

-Nicole Oatley Wines

"The generosity of this vintage seems to have been well suited to cabernet franc. This is a wine with texture and palate richness delivered with finesse. Varietal perfumes open with red and blackcurrant characters merging with a subtle oyster shell minerality. Smooth and vibrant juicy palate is supported by powdery tannins. There is great energy here. A terrific wine." 96 points - Ray Jordan
