  A blend of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Sangiovese and Shiraz, the nose highlights the dominance of Cabernet Franc with savoury and smokey blackberry and cigar box . The palate shows the richer influence of Malbec with fleshy red and blue fruits that are given richness by quality vanillin oak inputs on the mid palate.
  
  A savoury earthiness and drying tannins takes over on the finish with dense plum and blackberry lingering. A textural wine highlighting the wines individual components, but overall it benefits from the sum of all it's parts.
