April 7, 2023 - A very nice Syrah Cab blend. Good dark fruit, smooth tannins.

May 25, 2022 - A couple ofyears on from Graemeg’s note and I amstill finding the dusty tannins he mentions. More eucalyptus than mint, dark red berries, nicely balanced tannins.
Throwing a fair amount of sediment, decanting definitely needed.
Probably a victim of China restrictions on Aussie wine, another bargain from the Saltram stable2 people found this helpful Comment -

December 23, 2019 - {screwcap} Less minty than I expected given the Langhorne heritage; rather more mainstream red fruits, soft powdery tannins, not much oak, medium acid. Dry palate, medium weight, short/medium finish. Might be a bit more interesting with a year or two in the cellar.
