A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Jordans estate vineyards with small quantities of fruit from other prime vineyards. Aged in a mixture of French and American oak barrels, this is a rich and deeply textured wine with layers of black cherry, blackberry, cassis and dark chocolate. Slight notes of cedar and sweet leather are complemented by a subtle framework of oak and vanilla.
