On the southern boundary of Coonawarra is the old Penola cricket ground, which first saw a ball bowled in anger and the flashing cover drives of the local champions in 1950.
- Sight
- An deep, opaque colour
- Smell
- Intense perfum of fruit. Blackcurrant, Mulberry, Raspberry and Boysenberry. Full of complexity. Cedar, mint and eucalypt.
- Taste
- Hallmark Cabernet characters- cassis, menthol, satsuma plum. Length and balance. Finesse and elegance.
- Time
- A wine crafted to be enjoyed upon release with a view to medium term cellaring under the correct conditions.
