Deep garnet in colour with competing aromas of savoury green peppers and ripe red cherries. Enticing flavours of wild strawberries and cranberries on the palate. A vibrant mouth-watering wine with fine tannins and a long lingering finish.

The wine was racked immediately after malo and placed in mainly French (60%) and American (40%) 1st (35%), 2nd (40%) and 3rd (25%) fill oak barrels for 12 months of maturation after which the wine was lightly filtered and bottled.
