Region:

Margaret River

Composition:

60%  Cabernet Sauvignon 40% Merlot

Vintage Conditions:

The 2005 growing season was mild and dry,
allowing for an even ripening period 
Red fruit developed well with good concentration of colour and tannin
at a lower level of sugar ripeness. 
As a result, Cabernet based wines
are elegant and well structured
with great colour and varietal characters

Winemaking:

Produced in traditional open pot fermenters and
matured in French oak barriques for 20 months –
a tightly structured wine with medium to long term cellaring potential

Colour:

Medium to deep purple hues

Nose:

Blackberry, briar and vanilla

Palate:

Ripe berry flavours, firm tannins and a good acid balance
with a clean, lingering finish.

Wine Analysis:

Alc/Vol – 14.0%     pH – 3.44     TA – 7.0 g/lt

Peak Drinking:

Now - 2012
