Barossa

Variety: Cab. Sauv. Cab. Franc Merlot Malbec Petit Verdot

Size: 75cl

Alcohol: 14%

Type: Table, Red

94/100 James Halliday. Intense perfumed fruit aromas of great complexity. Full bodied and complex due to the five varieties used in the blend. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc provide wonderful upfront berry fruits, the Malbec and Petit Verdot provide great depth of flavour and intensity, while the Merlot gives the palate a wonderful suppleness. The grainy tannins add to the rich mouthfeel of the wine. There is amazing length to this wine with the berry fruit and spicy oak lingering.
