Reviews
"The iconic, full-bodied red wine is only produced in exceptional vintages and represents the best that the region can produce. Crafted from grapes hand harvested from low-yielding vineyards on the Gimblett Gravels, this wine was made using traditional winemaking techniques to emphasize complexity of flavor, aroma, power and elegance on the palate with a structure that provides the wine great ageing potential."

The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
