A brilliant Bordeaux-styled red from Western Australia, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc was aged in French oak puncheons for 20 months prior to bottling. It could easily pass for a top-class Bordeaux. Complex aromatics of cedar, spice box, black currants, and vanilla are followed by a layered, rich, medium to full-bodied red with noticeable tannin as well as a concentrated finish. It is a graceful, complex, dead ringer for a Medoc. Consume it over the next 10-15 years.Importer: Benjamin Hammerschlag, Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA; tel. (206) 923-1376
