The fruit-drenched 2013 vintage (5*) is a densely coloured, single-vineyard red, hand-picked in the Matheson Vineyard, in the Bridge Pa Triangle, and French oak-aged. Purple/black, it is powerful, with highly concentrated blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, gentle tannins and a finely textured, very smooth finish. Best drinking 2018+.
