The full-bodied palate has seamless tannins and focused acidity, giving notes of mulberries, mocha, dried herbs and saltbush. Very refined and polished with an underlying power. Made from a blend of 81% cabernet sauvignon, 16% malbec and 3% petit verdot. Excellent. Drink or hold.

Some of the 2020s from this region are currently looking as if they need to be put back into the cellar for a while, though this wine is the definition of elegance and structure today. It's a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot grapes that were handpicked between February 28 and April 9, then the wine matured for 18 months in French oak (33% new). 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- HIGHLIGHTS --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 30px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Malbec, and 3% Petit Verdot.

Intense aromas of blackcurrant, wild blackberry, and delicate violet are framed by savory nuances of graphite and a quintessential Margaret River touch of eucalyptus.
