A great St. Henri and, although multi-regional, this is very much a wine that speaks of the Barossa Valley, with aromas of ripe blackberries and red plums that are so fresh, together with tobacco, young-leather, earth, chocolate, coal-smoke and tarry accents. Effortless depth on the palate with summer berries, framed in fine, alabaster-like tannins that are underscored with discreet power. So long and captivating. JS
Stunning for its intensity and appealing for its density and purity of fruit flavors, this red features huckleberry, marionberry and wild blackberry notes at the core, with details of salted black licorice, toasted cumin, bittersweet chocolate and gingerbread, backed by perfumed notes of violet and lavender that linger on the finish, where the tannins have an appealing grip.
