Grenache 78%, Mataro 10%, Cinsault 6%, Shiraz 4% Carignan 2%

I rate this above the Hewitson Ms Harry but lower than the Western Ridge in terms of Carignan type blends from the Barossa.

Had this in October 2013. It's definitely another good summer red.

Very nice berry chocolate nose. Just an easy drinking wine on the palate, lots of cherry slight smokiness actually. A medium finish with slight tannins that coat the tongue

Certainly fruit driven nose with the shiraz & Grenache making its mark with slight raspberry jam & spice, lovely berry with that slight bitter herb ending in a good way. A great summer red but it's more in my opinion made for drinking now wine. Preferred it the first time I had it in 2013.

excellent crimson colour, lovely nose that has a nice perfume of vanilla black cherry/berries. lovely savoury notes with vanilla, spice & fine fine tannins. this will go a few more years.
