Tasting Notes
This Cabernet Franc-Merlot blend from Ross Hill opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe red and dark fruits layered with subtle herbal complexity. On the aroma, lifted notes of fresh raspberry, crushed violet, and black cherry mingle with a whisper of green capsicum and cedar. The palate is supple and well-structured, delivering plush blackcurrant and plum fruit framed by fine-grained tannins and a thread of graphite minerality. A touch of dark chocolate and warm spice from careful oak maturation adds depth and roundness. The finish is long, clean, and gently savoury, with lingering red fruit and earthy undertones that speak to the cool-climate origins of this elegant blend.
