International Wine Challenge Tranche#2 - Bronze (85 points)

Nose: Ripe blackcurrant, cinnamon and cedar oak with nuances of violets, mint and savoury herbal leaf characters.

Palate: Medium to full bodied with a well-defined tannin structure. Plush fruits of cassis and dark berries are combined with a slight savoury layer of sage and dried herbs. Well balanced acidity and careful oak integration have created a seamless wine with a lingering finish.

Food: Braised beef short ribs with creamy mashed potatoes with a fresh Arugula salad.
