The 2019 Symmetry is a wine the Rodney Strong team crafts each year to tell the story of the vintage - a true nod to their ultimate Bordeaux-style blend featuring all five varieties. The 2019 is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (80%), which gives it bold aromas of black licorice, anise, and currants. The long elevage of 24 months in French oak barrels (75% new) adds aromas of baking spices and a touch of vanilla beans. Eucalyptus and dried herbs like bay leaves add a fresh and savoury depth to the fruity flavours on the palate. It’s a rich and elegant wine, finishing long and satisfying.

This compelling and intricate Bordeaux blend brings classic currant, blackberry, pencil shaving and black pepper aromas, while the palate displays seamless balance between rich tannin and mouthwatering acidity and flavors of blackberry jam, dark chocolate and cassis. Brilliant now, this will age gracefully for well over a decade.

The nose is deeply scented and perfumed, with aromas of mulberries, blood plums and pomegranates. The palate is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity,giving notes of tobacco leaves, wild blackberries and mocha. Made from a well-integrated blend of 80% cabernet sauvignon, 8% merlot, 7% malbec, 3% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.
