Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a lovely effort, with spicy citrus highlights and a tart, elegant, supple and polished mouthfeel. The oak is beautifully managed, infusing the aromas with mocha and herb, and the finish lingers seductively.

Multi-dimensional and inviting, the nose offers a melange of cherry, spice, earth and gamy notes. A very supple mouthfeel follows with wonderfully firm, but not biting, acidity. Dark cherry and oak flavors hang on a handsome frame. Closes with a long, spicy finish with beautifully integrated tannins. Has great character; a most impressive example of the vintage and the Knight’s Gambit and Red Hills Estate Vineyards.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Fairly simple, this is quite tart, citric, and on the edge of unripe. Orange peel and rhubarb are the dominant notes, and it’s refreshing, though possibly too tart for some tasters.

Oaky and disjointed, with candied, strawberry fruit also manages to be tart.

This consistently pleased our tasting panel, which found it substantial and highlighted with scents of flowers and sweet fruits. Balanced and robust, it offers grace notes of sandalwood, mixed citrus and more.
