SKU: MYSBLESVCAMAL20
A wine of immense pedigree and awarded a phenomenal 97 points in the Halliday Wine Companion. This flagship blend is a masterful showcase of the region's strengths, combining the structure and deep cassis notes of cabernet sauvignon with the vibrant, dark fruit and plush texture of malbec. The wine was matured for 15 months in French oak puncheons, a selection of the very 'best of the best' barrels. The palate is layered and complex, featuring red and darker fruit layers supported by fine, persistent tannins and a lively finish. Enjoy this full-bodied, collectible red now, or cellar it with confidence for over a decade.

”..... This flagship is made with remarkable deftness and a lightness of touch. It is a special red showcasing the regional strengths of the 81/19% cabernet sauvignon/malbec, which spent 15 months in French oak puncheons, 25% new, and ended up a barrel selection – the 'best of best’ – with extra time in bottle. It’s beautifully modulated; fruit to the fore – all cassis and loganberries – then the savoury elements come into play. Expect ironstone, warm spices, warm earth and cedarwood, too. But the palate ... wow! It’s an elegant style, tannins rather beautiful and shapely, silky throughout and finishes on a high with cleansing acidity. Bravo......”
