Traditional red wine making. An assemblage of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (43%), Cabernet Franc (4%), Syrah (2%), and Dornfelder (1%). Subtle French and American oak integration for added depth of flavour and a full malolactic fermentation to soften the mouthfeel.


Garnet in colour with a bouquet of currant, blackberry, cherry, and subtle smoky oak, dried herbs, and spice. A medium-bodied and fruit-forward Cabernet Merlot with soft yet drying tannins and flavours of currant, cherry, and spice, which also linger on the finish with an added note of black tea.
