Tasting Notes

WA92

Another outstanding effort from this estate, the Merlot-dominated 2011 Long Haul incorporates 13% Cabernet Franc 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot, all of which were aged 21 months in 73% new French oak. It gives up ripe black fruits, currants, licorice, singed herbs and chocolate to go with a full-bodied, rounded and voluptuous style the palate. Nicely focused, with excellent purity of fruit, it-s already approachable and should be consumed over the coming decade.

WS91

Firm in texture, but the grippy tannins play well with the ripe, gently herbal cherry and clotted cream flavors, which persist on a medium-weight frame. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
