2016 Terroir Strewn Three

Strewn Three, our flagship red wine, is a three varietal blend that is unique each time it is made. In the past decade there have been only four vintages - 2010, 2012, 2015 and 2016 - where the grapes were of the outstanding quality required to make our top-tier Terroir reds. 
The three classic varietals of the Bordeaux Region of France, are used to make Strewn Three.  Merlot is harvested first, followed by Cabernet Franc and finally Cabernet Sauvignon. Each of the three varietals provides a specific element to the final blend: Merlot gives softer tannins, smooth texture and ripe fruit flavours, Cabernet Franc brings spiciness and earthiness, and Cabernet Sauvignon adds firm tannins and notes of cassis.
The 2016 Strewn Three is 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Cabernet Franc and 22% Merlot. While still young, it is drinking remarkedly well: round, smooth and silky. If you are patient you will be rewarded with an even more expressive wine in two years. Will cellar another 5+ years.
