This is Winemaker Matt Stafford’s baby and the wineries flagship wine, Merlot dominant in the Pomerol fashion. Year on year this wine always has a deep, dark, near impenetrable black-red appearance.  Whilst on the nose it is always powerful and vibrant filled with dark fruits, irony earth, dark florals and dried herb with an under-current of spiced oak.  On the palate the wine imbues a full-bodied and powerful structure with a soul of vibrant vitality. The beauty of this vintage over others is how it is so approachable in its youth although it will always reward cellaring.
