Clive's notes:
A blackcurrant and moss nose with green notes. The wine is light to medium bodied and carries black fruits and firm slightly green tannins. A modest length.Additional Information

| Critics Opinion | There's a leafiness on the nose of the wine that is typical of lighter, less ripe styles of Cabernet, with a herbal and olive notes to cherry fruit. On the palate it is medium-bodied and fresh, with a nice, sweet layering of cherry and blackcurrant fruit, and again that slightly mossy, herbal quality. The tannins are actually quite fine and it stays fresh and juicy thanks to good acidity. A pleasant food-friendly Cabernet with its modest 12.0% alcohol, though undoubtedly a touch on the herbal side of the spectrum. 85/100, Tom Cannavan |

Outstanding value for money! Review by Paul (Posted on 08/01/2009)
Rich and sensual colour, blackberry-mossy bouquet with an elegant cherry and prunes smooth palate. Young, yet delicate oaked tannins with potential to develop. I would Drink now to 2011.
