Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose with cherries, raspberries, light wood, vegetables, barnyard, tobacco leaf, eucalyptus, spices and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, currants, licorice, spices, cedar, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and black pepper.
Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty and interesting Sangiovese from Napa valley. Feels like a light super Tuscan. Easy drinking and good with food.
Good by itself, but needs 45 minutes in a decanter to open up properly, so be patient.
Still young and will be better in the next few years. This Single Vineyard is showing mild complexity at this point.
A very interesting interpretation of Sangiovese. I had the 2018 last year and it is very consistent.
A blend of 97% Sangiovese with 3% Merlot. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (35% new).
14.7% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

See previous Delectable note. Very dark Ruby in colour - opaque. A beautiful fragrant black fruited nose of mulberry, cassis and dried herbs. It’s nice to vary our producers from Margaret River and this is one that one doesn’t often see. This was most impressive - full bodied palate showing blackberry, eucalypt, bay leaf, capsicum, plum - in fact all of the Cabernet descriptors. Graphite texture with velvety tannins. This is from the southern end of Margs near the likes of Cape Mentelle and Voyager Estate. To repeat the previous note this won a major Trophy in London for best Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaret River. This could cellar for at least another 5 years. — 6 months ago
