Lock Stock & Barrel Wines

This very much vaunted vintage was ideal for cabernet in the Clare Valley and the wine is very consistent with our house style. A warm growing season. Harvested mid April. A supremely elegant yet intense wine with all components integrated and offering very good young drinking but with the potential to live for many years.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Intense berry and plum characters with just a touch of French oak essence.

Colour: Deep crimson.

Palate: Full palate with good richness and generosity and displays the textural softness that has become a hallmark of our reds.
