Ripe cherry and Swiss milk chocolate aromatics invites further investigation.
A second swirl releases cabernet varietal-derived spearmint, interwoven with raspberry, cinnamon and fennel. 

Palate

A lovely balanced palate with fresh red currant and plum fruit backed by lively acidity. There is more than a hint of charcouterie with cured fennel sausage foremost in mind. 

Seasoned oak has integrated well to deliver a creamy texture and cola spice nuances. Fruit derived tannins are both fine and velvety.

Above-average winter and spring rainfall offered the vines across South Australia healthy soil moisture profiles for the growing season. Cool days and cooler nights slowed vine growth in early spring with temperatures warming in October. Late flowering and veraison delayed harvest by a few weeks. Weather conditions during ripening were generally dry and favoured fully ripened grapes with well-developed colours and flavours.
