Varietal Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc
Category Red Wine
Region Australia : South Australia : Barossa Valley
Producer Craneford
Alcohol 14.5%


Color: Magenta.

Nose: Savory, blackberry, blackcurrant, earthy, mixed red berries flavors with new French oak nuances.

Palate: The Palate has both savory and a range of fruit driven flavors throughout with soft tannins and lovely spice. The New French oak is evident yet subtle and adds lovely complexity to the wine.

Wine Advocate The proprietary Bordeaux blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc as well as 8% Shiraz, the 2005 Quartet, is a brilliantly crafted effort revealing flamboyant aromatics of lavender, black currants, cedar, licorice, and roasted meats. It is a juicy, medium to full-bodied red with loads of sweet tannin, glycerin, and length. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Score: 91. —Robert Parker, October 2006.
