A blend of two Barossa Cabernet vineyards, one at each end of the valley. Although it took a little time to get going, it showed some great form in the end.
The fruit was sourced from the Fromm vineyard in the south and the Primrose vineyard in the north. The result is a wine that benefits from some time in the glass. Over a few days of tasting, this continued to grow on me. Quite leafy early on and showing handfuls of cut green herbs, blackcurrants and blackberries slide in with some dark chocolate. Red peppers and barbecued capsicum add detail. Initially, it was firm to taste but those tannins softened and opened up beautifully. Give it a decant or some time tucked away and you will be rewarded.
