| Varietal: |
Merlot & Cabernet Franc |
| Vintage: |
2012 |
| Region: |
Barossa |
| Colour: |
Garnet Red, some brown notes, but certainly in line with the age of the wine. |
| Nose: |
Blackcurrant, boysenberry and a touch of spearmint. |
| Palate: |
A generous rounded mid palate that is still bursting with fruit - layers of cranberries, blackcurrants, and plum. Secondary flavours of cedar and tobacco have developed, giving the wine complexity and drive. The tannins in this wine have softened nicely, but not disappeared, leaving the wine supple and balanced. |
| Style: |
A beautifully aged full bodied red blend. Foodwise, I would pair with savoury, earthy dishes like grilled lamb chops or a mushroom ragu. Cheese with a few years of age would be a good match as well, possibly a Comte or Gouda. |
