Silver Heights Family Reserve 2015
ChinaThe Family Reserve, an 80/20 mix of cabernet sauvignon and merlot is a step up in quality and finesse over the Last Warrior but it still comes with a whack of spicy, ripe, liquorice flecked fruit that makes it more New World than Old in style. It’s aged 12 months in French oak, of which 30 percent is new. The attack is warm and round with the oak in check and early freshness before the sweet fruit and dark chocolate kick in near the finish where the tannins are light and fine-grained. Best now with a savoury roast leg of lamb to tone down the fruit.Tasted: 23 August 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $53.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
