TASTING NOTES
67% Merlot 33% Cabernet Franc
34-year-old Merlot vines are grown on deep clay soils and Cabernet Franc from cool climate Elgin. Generous, opulent core of ripe black plums from the Merlot component with underlying savoury, lead pencil shavings from Cabernet Franc fruit. Tannins are dry and suedey on the finish.
In its youth, generous, mouth-filling plum fruit is well integrated with the wet stone
and suedey texture of the Cabernet Franc fruit and over time will evolve to earthy,
prunes, blonde tobacco and hazelnut paste with mellowed tannin structure. This wine should mature well for 8-10 years under optimal cellar conditions.
