91 POINTS: James Halliday.
Appearance: Deep purple with crimson red hue.
Bouquet: Black berries and cherries, hints of violets with Chocolate and Mocha characters from the oak.
Palate: Rich dark fruit, well integrated mocha oak combined with fine tannins add richness to ensure a lingering palate full of flavour.
Vintage Conditions: The lead up to the 2009 harvest in the Riverina was one of the best on record, with refreshing rains during spring and mild December temperatures. This led to fruit with flavour intensity and acid structure not seen for a few years. This all changed at the end of January with an unprecedented heat wave of plus 40 degrees for 14 days which saw ripening stall for 3 weeks. Overall the vintage was good to excellent.
Winemaking: Fruit was selected by the winemaker and picked when the dark fruits flavour and sugars were at their optimum to express the varietal flavours of Petit Verdot. Cold soaked at 10°C for 24 hours to help with colour and flavour extraction. Allowed to warm and fermented for 7–10 days at 18 - 22°C.
