Cloth Label Red 2018

Always made with every variety in the vineyard, the 2018 Cloth Label Red was drawn from a vintage with great intensity of fruit flavour, and it shows in the wine—Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon are the heroes of the blend, with a peppery, grilled red capsicum nose and plenty of rich dark fruit. On the palate the Cabernet brings some power, with fine, rich tannins and an incredibly complex palate that dries from strawberry to boysenberry and tart plum. Finishes long, with more dark fruit and a suggestion of aniseed. An exemplary example of an excellent year.
