A wine built to age, join winemaker Mark Hopley in a tasting of our iconic Bordeaux style blend, Garland. A wine that celebrates Hester Creek’s historic 1968 year old vineyard, our roots run deep with this Cabernet Sauvignon driven red. A true expression of Golden Mile Bench fruit, this vintage is made with grapes from our older vines and is over 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with splashes of Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. It shows dark fruits such as currants, plum, and cassis, with incredible structure and intensity. Aged for 2 years in mostly French oak, Garland will cellar gracefully for up to 10 years, or even longer. Mark recommends pairing with big, savoury meaty dishes such as a roasted lamb shank or rich pot roast.
