Accolades

92 Points, Ray Jordan

The warm ‘22 vintage has delivered plenty of solid, rich fruit to this classic blend. This is a Cabernet dominant blend, with the firm varietal core driving the structure of a pleasing and flavoursome red. The Merlot adds plenty of mid-palate flesh, with a mix of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and a slightly black olive nuance that completes this tidy value wine. ‘On the Vine’ Edition 6 June 2024
