Some blood plum, sour cherry and cassis. Good depth with ironstone and earth notes just behind the flesh. Layered and balanced, good drive and authority. Persistent and fresh. The field blend block is now mainly Grenache (more than 85%), Mataro, Shiraz, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Trincadiera making up the balance in descending order of volume and influence on the final ‘field blend’ or ensemble of grape varieties.
