Josh Raynolds – “Deep, violet color. Powerful, spice-accented cassis, cherry-cola and fruitcake aromas are sharpened by a smoky mineral element. Succulent black and blue fruit flavors show very good depth as well as energy and pick up vanilla and violet pastille accents with air. Supple and broad on the clinging, subtly tannic finish, which leaves repeating dark berry and floral notes behind.”

Perched high above the Barossa, the Eden Valley can be a precarious but highly rewarding place in which to grow grapes. This single vineyard, at 550m above sea level is hauntingly beautiful. Home to the majestic wedgetail eagle, the soils composed of pink quartz and ironstone, provide a formidable substrate in which the vines takes a tenuous hold. Intense, tightly coiled and vital, this wine is like a great orator. Every component measured and well timed, the tone lifts and falls, all the while building emotion and resonance. Tension and excitement builds and leads through to a memorable finish. Oh, and it tastes amazing!
