85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc grown on Stephen and Prue Henschke's Lenswood vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. Bight crison in color. Sweet lifted violets, mulberry, blueberry with hints of cassis. Slight autumn tones of mushrooms, leafy ferns, autumn leaves with sappy hints (merlot is unique in the way it brings ripe mature fruit and sappy forest aromas together). Sweet, ripe and more intense than expected, complex and textured with layers of silky chewy tannins that last on a long extended finish. This wine will start to come into is own in 2009. Serve with venison, mushrooms, and chestnuts.
