Drank alongside the 2010, 2011, 2012 Herold Brown and White Labels, 2013 Herold Stagecoach, and 2012 Maze standard Cabernet.
Decent dark berry notes, with a smooth and inviting textural mouthfeel. Some subtle asphalt and mineral/granite notes as well. Did not have the vibrancy of the standard 2012 Maze Cabernet, which out-scored the Clew by an extra point.
A balanced and friendly drinker, but a bit one note at this stage. Maybe time in bottle will wake it up a bit? Hold until late 2016 to allow for some bottle integration.

Happily surprised by the deept and good balance of the wine. Probably at its peak.
