The 2016 Long Haul is a blend of 80% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. The nose is focused with black and red fruits that have a chewy quality about them, with a softly extracted expression. Black cherry, dark plum and redcurrant show well on the medium to full-bodied palate, but this doesn’t have the same focus as the Little Sister of the same range. The wine has a pleasing finish with still-tight tannins. Let this rest before you break into it. 1,776 cases produced.
