'dark and luxurious' - Zelma Long
It's hard to believe that the powerful and deep 2005 was only the third vintage produced of now well established and sought-after Series C.

Critics Ratings
"Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, as name implies (66%, with 22% Merlot, 6% each Malbec and Cabernet Franc), in this powerful but seamless & polished red; '05 rich, scented, resolute but ripe tannins, harmonious oaking (90% new French)" - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2008, 4.5*
'Still tight, but with impressive concentration and precision to the layers of plum, red currant, roasted vanilla, espresso bean and mineral. Focused, almost sleek on the finish, with fine length. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. This young project from Mike Ratcliffe (Warwick Estate) and Zelma Long is getting better every year.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Feb 2009)
