This is a great example,
and possibly the best yet, of a unique blend of red grape varieties
and which is made from fruit grown on the family’s Mangan
Vineyard. In comparison with previous vintages, the contribution
of Merlot (50%) exceeds that of Malbec (14%). The other component
of the blend is Petit Verdot (36%). The low cropping levels of less
than one tonne to the acre in 2006 help account for the great intensity
and depth of this wine, which also benefited from being matured
for nine months in high quality French oak.
