The 2010 vintage (4*) was grown at three company-owned sites, in the Alexandra and Gibbston sub-regions. Matured in French oak barriques (25 per cent new), it is full and bright in colour, generous and sweet-fruited, with youthful cherry, plum and spice flavours and excellent depth through the palate. The 2011 (4*) is bright ruby, with good concentration of cherry, spice and slight herb flavours, good complexity and gentle tannins. Best drinking 2014+.
