Winemaker's Comments
Fresh aromas of blueberry and boysenberry meld with complex hints of baking spices, sage and lavender. The wine glides across the palate with a denseness and elegance to the black fruited core along with complimentary fine, dusty tannins, typical of the red wines from the Gimblett Gravels.
