The 2016 Calluna Estate is a blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Cabernet Franc, 13% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec. Medium to deep ruby-purple, it has a minerally nose with graphite and iron over blackcurrant, black plum and turned earth.

A similar blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Cabernet Franc, 13% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot and the rest Malbec, the 2016 Estate offers more crème de cassis, crushed violets, lead pencil, and crushed mineral aromas and flavors. The finest wine I've tasted from this estate, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated, has building tannins, and considerable elegance and purity. Give bottles 2-4 years of bottle age, and it will keep for two decades or more. 751 cases.
