WINESPECTATOR
"Lush, with milk chocolate, espresso and maraschino cherry flavors at the core, plus grace notes of palo santo, loamy fresh earth, herbs and white pepper. Reveals supple, polished tannins, with a long, lingering finish. Drink now through 2031. 91 points" Wine Spectator.
Vintage: Good late-winter and early-spring rains led to an even budburst, good early canopy growth and contributed to mitigating frost damage. Dry conditions prevailed from November onwards, with rainfall well below average for the remainder of the growing season. The 2021 vintage has been described by local winemakers as classic Clare with cool and dry conditions producing solid yields and fruit with great varietal character and natural acidity.
Winemaking: Crushed and destemmed. Static stainless steel fermenter. 9 days on skins. 100% Seasoned French Oak Hogsheads.
Nose: The nose displays beautifully complex notes of plums, cassis and a hint of cigar box.
Palate: The palate is smooth and well-rounded with plenty of blackberries and plums, complemented by well-integrated tannins.
Cellaring: Drink now to 2031
