Winemaker Notes
This wine has feisty yet adult aromas of white pepper, and smells ofred Australian earth in the summer. The blackberry and mulberry fruitstaste as if they've been gently stewed to a conserve, with whole berriesremaining in the pulp. The finish is teasing and appetizing with savorydark green tannins and an elegant, refined attitude.
