This vineyard is also planted at 11,300 and 22,600 vines per hectare and has been yielding

at around 300 grams per vine. The 2020 Block 8 has its usual darker fruit profile but also

red cherry fragrance. It has layers of aromas; ginger, earth and game, brown spice. The

palate is creamy and fresh with a supple and smooth fruit and tannin flow. As is typical with

this vineyard, it builds through the middle palate and fans out through the finish. It will

continue to gain complexity and drink beautifully over the next ten years. -MICHAEL DHILLON
