Firm in texture, with focused, tar-infused black cherry and black olive flavors that linger against mildly chewy tannins as the finish rolls on. Drink now through 2015. 128 cases made. -HS

Rich and ripe, with dried cherry, prune and mint aromas and flavors on a plump, even voluptuous, frame. The finish gets a bit chewy, but it sails on nicely. Give this time to settle in. Best from 2008 through 2014. 120 cases made, 64 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Barossa Select to Add
