TASTING NOTES
"The Modern has a medium-bodied, red-and-dark-fruited style is what they call a well-balanced and complex palate with red and dark berry flavours, floral notes, enhanced by gravelly earth. Cedary French oak almost entirely absorbed in the palate, and the tannin profile is silky on the long, impressive finish"
"A very elegant Cabernet. A balanced and complex palate with red and dark berry flavours, floral notes, enhanced by gravelly earth"

IMPRESSIVE & EXPRESSIVE
"This is a new wine, and is a blend of cabernet and merlot. Leafy tobacco and black olive
nuances overlay the deeper plummy blackcurrant of the two varieties. Has that distinctive graphite of oyster shell character you get in these southern cabs. Impressive and expressive. I like the structure and poise which reflects the way the wine has been assembled"
