This is in almost perfect harmony and balance, showing aromas of blackcurrants, dark chocolate, dried herbs and pencil shavings on the nose. The palate is seamlessly integrated with finely tuned, refined tannins and bright acidity. No hard edges here. Great energy and freshness with underlying tension. Excellent. Drink or hold.

Alluring aromas of crunchy dark berry fruit and savoury sagebrush, underpinned by red dust minerality that layers itself seamlessly on the palate. The structure is powerful and intensely fragrant, with loamy earth, robust tannins and full-bodied volume. A firm spine of mineral-laced acidity drives the wine forward, bringing salinity, tension and remarkable energy to the long, compelling finish. Aged for 19 months in 50% new French oak.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is cut from the same cloth, with a beautiful nose of red and black fruits interwoven with graphite, savory herbs, chocolate, and tobacco nuances. It too is medium to full-bodied, has impressive depth and concentration, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's another beautiful wine from this team that readers will love over the coming 15+ years.
