Thorn-Clarke Shotfire Quartage 2012

A blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, petit verdot and merlot. Comes from a distinguished line of wines that have over-delivered, and this wine is up the best of those made to date. While much of its quality comes from the vineyard, it has also been very well made; its blackcurrant, redcurrant, cherry and spice flavours flow in a seamless stream across the palate and aftertaste. Drink by: Score - 95. (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, Feb. 16, 2015)
