The 2010 vintage followed good winter rainfall in 2009 and allowed the vineyards to commence the 2010 season with good soil moisture levels. This soil moisture, combined with moderate weather conditions throughout most of the growing season allowed for good fruit set and canopy development.
The wine has an inky purple colour. The aroma of the wine has lashings of dark fruit and chocolate. The palate is elegant with fine tannins providing structure throughout. The fruit characters promised by the aroma are delivered on the palate. American oak characters are evident throughout the palate without dominating the fruit of the wine. The wine is well balanced and has long persistence after the wine has left the mouth.
