(Medal; Considered special value for money within the context of the wine).
A single vineyard located right on the water in Port Arlington. All 1998-planted MV6 clones; 40% whole bunches, 25% new oak barriques. A medium and very bright crimson purple. Aromas of wild strawberries and kirsch sit alongside whole-bunch derived notes of white pepper and dried mountain herbs. Concentrated and balanced, this flows nicely across the palate with its silky tannins and bright, juicy, acidity.
