TASTING NOTES:
Exploding
from the glass with bold dark fruit notes, this sumptuous blend offers layers
of ripe black fruits, blueberry, dark cherry, plum, licorice, graphite and
smoked tobacco with shaved dark chocolate. These rich flavors coat the palate where
a wave of delicious oak spices, cinnamon, all spice and toasted marshmallow lead
you to the lengthy and mouthwatering finish. The hefty dose of Syrah in this
blend every year adds an attractive component of seductive dark fruit, plush integrated
tannins, and a persistent peppery finish with hints of earth and forest floor
adding to its complexity. Very approachable and well balanced when young. Drink
now or hold for up to 10+ years.

48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Syrah, 11% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Franc
Owen Bargreen (95 pts)The 2022 'Estate Limited Edition' is mainly Cabernet Sauvignon (48%) and Syrah (33%) with the reminder Malbec and Cabernet Franc. This truly unique red blend really needs about 30 minutes in the decanter to be fully aroused. This shows massive depth and really good structure despite the obvious heat of the vintage. Pencil lead and iodine notes combine with mocha, tar, and heady dark fruits. Elegant and refined, with firm tannins, enjoy this beautiful wine now and over the next fifteen plus years. Drink 2025-2040
James Suckling (95 pts)
A serious, complex but generous wine that shows great balance, depth and concentration. Blackcurrants, dark chocolate, graphite and espresso are accented by black licorice, cedar and wood smoke. Offers power with elegance, as the full body and full tannins are so well saturated in flavors. Drinkable now and best from 2030.
