Crisp in texture, with juicy blackberry and lemon peel flavors against a smoky background, with firm tannins supporting the finish. Best from 2009 through 2013. 1,250 cases made.??–HS??Region: Australia / New South Wales / Orange Select to Add

Only contains 1% Viognier, so maybe the impression is subliminal, but there does seem to be a hint of apricot to this wine’s raspberry-blueberry fruit and cracked pepper. It’s medium-bodied, with firm acids but soft tannins on the finish. Drink now and over the next 8 years.——W.E.(9/1/2007)—— 90
