92 points, Wine Spectator Magazine (US). Maryann Worobiec, Senior Editor & Napa Bureau Chief. "The core of this rich and succulent red oozes with ripe huckleberry and marionberry flavors that show hints of sage, dried bay leaf, cigar box and spices, with plenty of white pepper and fresh cracked black pepper on the finish. The tannins are firm and muscular, but never get in the way of the rich flavors. Drink now through 2033."

Vintage: The 2021 vintage was an excellent one on the Limestone Coast. Weather during flowering was ideal for good fruit set. The season was relatively mild with only one day of reasonably intense heat (in late January), rain was also minimal meaning minimal disease pressure. The conditions from late February through to April allowed the red varieties to ripen slowly so winemakers could pick at optimum ripeness. The reds have exceptional colour, intensity and great fruit expression.
Winemaking: Crushed and destemmed before fermentation in a static stainless steel fermenter. It spent 9 days on skins before draining off the wine for maturation. Oak was predominantly French Oak.
Only 85 cases available.
Cellaring:Drink now to 2033.
