The Superblend B varietal composition is close to evenly split with cabernet sauvignon contributing 55% and shiraz 45% of the blend respectively. The components were married post vintage, completing 19 months maturation in 54% new and 46% one-year old French oak hogsheads.
This wine will reward careful cellaring for several decades. An intriguing counterpoint to its American oak sibling.
This is the second release in the duo.
Even – an excellent line across palate; fine and persistent. Acidity – more than likely aligned to the fruit descriptors noted: cumquat, pomegranate and persimmon. A grated texture with gritty tannins … and its savoury demeanour also contributing to a ‘textural dryness’. Dusty, shaved dark-chocolate flavours (unlike nose) and a sprinkle of chocolate dust and sweet paprika. A challenge to unravel varietal components – no tension, relaxed in tandem.
