Tasting Notes

This is a serious nose; plentiful and vibrant. There are some wonderful violet notes along with deep, dark brooding fruits, blackcurrant and plums in particular which are accompanied by superb notes of cinnamon, cloves and liquorice. The palate does not disappoint and continues in a similarly impressive fashion, the fruit is so fresh and pure, blackcurrants and blackberries along with other jumbled forest floor tones and a touch of smoke and liquorice which amplify on the finish. This is an extremely elegant and well balanced wine, very fresh, it has the structure to age beautifully.

This is full bodied and opulent, yet the tannic structure is beautifully integrated and nothing is overblown – the balance is impeccable. It also manages to be seriously refreshing. Cedar, sweet spice, tobacco, graphite and the faintest hint of truffle all emerge...

Tasting Notes

"Red Rock Terrace displays a beautiful core of blackcurrant, crème de cassis and juicy red plums. Hiding behind the gorgeous sweet fruit, fragrant notes of cordial, cocoa and liquorice emerge with time in the glass. Laser-beam precision is supported by the finest, grippiest tannins imaginable. Those tannins carry the beautifully concentrated fruit to a long, long finish. Effortless and perfectly...
