Region/G.I.: Hunter Valley
Vintage: 2011
Closure: Screwcap
Colour: Red-rich purple
Alcohol: 13.0%
Bouquet: Violet and hints of cream
Flavour: Fantastic long finish, with integrated, gentle tannins throughout. There is slatey, savoury flavours in the profile which are almost salty. A brooding, complex wine of pleasure.
Points: 88 (3+7+12+8+8+50)
Notes: When we visited the cellar door in the Hunter last year, this was our first stop and all wines were very good. Their rose was perfect for the almost 40 degree day. This wine was sourced through a wine club for $13.60~245 Kc, which is about half its retail price. This was one of the highlights of last weekend.
