Deep, bright red/purple colour, fresh and youthful, with a very clear-edged cabernet varietal nose featuring mulberry, crushed leaf and cassis. The palate is medium to full-bodied and very elegant, with abundant fine tannins, with oak very much in the background. The tannins are ample and firm-ish but relatively mild. (Wrattonbully, Coonawarra, Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley. 12 months in French & American oak, 35% new.)
