“Finely crafted, controlled, and focused to a sustained finish” 95 Points – Ken Gargett | Wine Pilot

The seventh release for this wine from an excellent vintage for Wrattonbully, fermentation was in larger Potter fermenters and smaller open top fermenters. Maturation was in French oak barrels, with 12% new oak, and old foudres for fifteen months. The blend is 43% Shiraz, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Cabernet Franc. 5,000 six-packs produced. A deep magenta hue, this has a gorgeous nose. The aromas weave through notes of blackberries, cigar boxes, mulberries, vanillin touches, bay leaves, plums, mocha and chocolate. A medium weight, seamless, elegant, seductive style with a fine line of acidity, the wine is beautifully balanced. Like this enormously. For enjoying over the next ten to fifteen years. 95 Points
