Ruby/garnet color. A little thin. Dust, tobacco and oak on the nose. Initial flavor is of ripe berries developing into the earthiness and oak that is so prevalent on the nose. Medium body, only slightly tannic with a rather long and complex finish. A very nice wine, though not a very big one.

The nose is vegetal with a good dose of oak. There is some plum and black currant as well as some dried herbs. The mouth is tight and austere with some nice red and dark fruits and significant tannins. It benefited clearly from the WA climate as the acidity is in balance with the fruit. The finish is pleasant. Great with steak and bleu cheese.

Vibrant nose, olive with deep richness. The mouthfeel is lucious, nice round tannins with dark cherry and herbs. Very well balanced. Drink now.
