The flexibility of this blending approach provides for great consistency from vintage to vintage and allows for the best attributes of individual sites to be combined to create the signature Angus The Bull style.

Tasting notes:

Intense color with bright purple hues. Vibrant black fruits with rich dark chocolate and subtle vanillin oak aromas, Medium to full bodied palate weight, characterized by satisfying tannins and a savoury masculine finish. An ideal accompaniment to red meat and premium cuts of prime beef. Will continue to improve over the next 4-6 years.
