Description From Mount Barker, where the modern West Australian wine industry began in the mid-1960s. Aromas of raspberries and cherries on the nose, with hints of violets, spice and freshly turned earth. Juicy raspberries drive the palate against a backdrop of black cherries, fennel, rosemary and black olive. "A splendid rendition of the variety, showing dark cherry, sweet plum, thyme, toasted nut and dried mushroom aromas on the nose, followed by a silky-smooth palate offering excellent weight and refined texture, finishing wonderfully long and velvety. Stylish and seductively complex, offering terrific drinking... 94pts" (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit).
