100% whole cluster fermented, aged 14 months in 25% new French oak. Beautiful juice... cool and restrained with a savory edge. Would enjoy drinking this along side the Arnot Roberts North Coast for comparison.

Big and heavily extracted but does someone still manage to show some finesse. Still more south Australian style than cool climate Cali.
