”With 4% petit verdot. The vines are young – 8 yrs old – and a mix of 337 and Houghton clone. On skins for 18 days, primary inoculated ferment in tank, matured for 16 months in French oak (40% new). Densely concentrated and intense in the mouth, this is full and ripe. 2019 was a cool vintage for Margaret River, but the fruit power here belies the skies it will have experienced overhead for much of the vintage growing season. The tannins are fine, laden with graphite and minerals; cloves and licorice round out the finish.”
