From a 4.5 star James Halliday rated winery 2011, and as James Halliday noted "The wine portfolio impressively over delivers on value, an excellent winery able to produce wines of high to very high quality." Steeple Jack 2010 Cabernet Merlot is dark cherry red in colour, while blackcurrant, plum and tobacco leaf dominate the nose. It is full, rich, fleshy and a palate of mulberry, black cherry and spice upfront, laced with hints of Dutch chocolate and mint, supported by a fine texture and soft tannins on the finish.
