A few years of age have added depth on both the nose and the palate with still mostly primary fruit aromas of cranberry, raspberry and cherry. The supple and now completely resolved light weight flavors are delicious and possess good richness on the balanced and persistent finish.

Picked 5 October, Brix 23.1, pH 3.44. The 2007 growing season began with slightly warmer temperatures, providing ideal conditions for fruit set. Weather was moderate throughout the summer and fall. In 2007 patience was key, as we waited for sugars to complement physiological ripeness. This was David Lett’s final cuvée. Shortly before he passed away in October of 2008 he blended the South Block, and it was re-barreled for a further 16 months before bottling in 2010. Jason was keen at the time that he and he alone should direct the winemaking. He says he saw David throw a bunch of stems in from the destemmer but his father denies this. Whatever the recipe, this is a stunning wine (that does taste as though there were some stems in there). Racy and transparent and lots of fruit and racy. So fresh! 18.5/20 Points
