70% of the fruit comes from McLaren Vale, the other 30% from Coonawarra.

Dark ruby red with aromas of briar, cranberry, violets, currant, and cassis. Full-bodied with pepper, red and black fruits. Moderate finish. Drink now. Score - 87 points.

You'd be surprised, this long time McLaren Vale favourite can age quite well.

The naturally ripe phenolics of the reds of the region allow them to age for much longer than the immediate approachability suggests.

I do find that chapel hill acidifies a little too much for my taste though.

A meal without wine is... well, erm, what is that like?
