Thank you Coonawarra, you've done it again. This has some serious ‘wow’ factor, intensely concentrated and phenomenally executed. That's the skill of a great winemaker, namely in this case Sam Brand whose family are as Coonawarra as it gets. A very Bordeaux blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot gives this wine effortless shape, and a little bit of love in French and American oak for a generous 20 months really elevates this to luscious levels. Dark purple with a dense palate of spiced cherry and ripe blackcurrant, this wine is well balanced with toasted bread and sweet vanilla honey notes.
