 WINEMAKER LARRY CHERUBINO’S NOTES
 Grapes from block twelve of the over fifty year old Justin Vineyard at 
Frankland River WA were hand-picked, the berries run down an individual 
berry sorting table into small vessels to macerate and ferment on skins for 
4-6 weeks. Aged fifteen months in new tight grained low toast French oak, 
prior to rigorous barrel selection to complete this final blend.
 Poised. Classic blackcurrant. Incredibly soft tannins. Tremendous length.
