From winery: Lots of dark red fruit on the nose, particularly boysenberry and black cherry, as well as a cool, chalky minerality, and what winemaker neil Collins called "a beautiful absence of oak". The mouth is vibrantly fruity with more cherry, but then firms up as the tannins come to the fore. there is tart red fruit on the finish, with a lingering impression of iron. It will be a fascinating wine to watch age.
