"Bright, aromatic notes of raspberries and macerated cherries leap from the glass in this delicious release. These elements are immediately backed up by an amalgam of baking spices and gentle phenolic nuances, collectively creating a harmonious palate with seamless structure and fragrance. The wine aged for 12 months in pre-used barriques, providing subtle oak characters which further enhance the shape of this delicious, medium bodied wine. Showing effortless balance and superb texture, the natural acidity helps create a soft finish, lingering in detail where it matters. Delectable and very limited." - Belinda Thomson, winemaker.
"From the important place of Crawford River comes cabernet franc, naturally fermented, raised in old oak, no additives, sent to bottle unfined and unfiltered. The second generation at Crawford River shifting the dial a bit, but still an homage to the traditional too. I like all of this.
Drinks a charm and right in that pitch perfect lunchtime, medium weight, slurpy but structure red slot. Cab franc can teeter into green or sloppy so easily and this is with strength, right in the middle zone. Chewy tannin slips around juicy, plummy fruit, there's green olive, white pepper, currants and cranberry all woven together. Lots going on. It's gulpable and yet good to hit the pause button on. Charm and delight in spades." - Mike Bennie
