Reviews

If you hand-prune Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon, and don't seek to embellish it in the winery with masses of oak, this is what you get. Rich, complex, dark berry spice and chocolate, tinged with more savoury aromas lead into a concentrated, tongue-coating blackberry-flavoured palate and great tannins.
