"The bouquet is simply stunning… On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and supremely elegant, with a great core of sweet fruit, strikingly soil-driven and perfectly balanced, with firm, ripe and integrated tannins, laser-like focus and a very, very long, refined and complex finish. Sheer brilliance!"~ A View from the Cellar

"Little evidence of a difficult year; on the contrary, this is supple and sweet, finishing with firm but suave tannins and lingering red fruits."

"As the flagship of the winery, the Calluna Estate is inspired by the defining wines of Bordeaux’s Left Bank as it leads with Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot along with Cabernet Franc, and to a lesser extent Malbec and Petit Verdot, assist to round out the blend."~ Winery Notes
