Paying homage to the then wine maker at Whitehall Lane; Dean Sylvester. An unsung genius, whom I will never forget. I hope I am able to tip a glass with him in September when I am there.
The nose, ahhh, the nose is sublime. The majority juice is merlot, but there is a sizable dollop of cab, which helps to elevate the aromas of black cherries, maple syrup, freshly baked bread and talcum powder.
The palette is wonderful. It has such clarity and purity. Tannins are balanced with the acidity and 14.2 abv. A wonderful texture which finished sweet.
The new winemaker has a tough act to follow, but I'm sure he's up to the challenge.
