The bright fruit and plushness that has become synonymous with our Renaissance Merlot is certainly evident in this special wine, but it’s the richly earthy and brooding complexity of this wine that is the star. This estate field blend is full of intense, stewed and fresh dark fruit, dried herbs, forest floor and graphite, with a delicate lift of dried violets. The palate is tight yet elegantly generous, with ripe tannins and juicy acidity that should ensure a long life ahead.

Deep, dark black fruit. Slight smokiness/tobacco hints. Lovely medium body, flavour and flow. The fruit is in the lighter spectrum.

Fragrant bouquet of red current, red and black plum with gentle leafy overtones. Medium bodied and well-structured with plentiful fine-grained tannins and a long persistent finish.

Cedar, dark plum, panforte aromas, espresso notes, fine slinky tannins with walnutty leathery notes at the finish. Drying out.
