Critics Ratings

‘This vintage of Fusion V is already approachable and enjoyable, with ripe aromas and flavors of brambly berry and cherry that are accented by attractive notes of cocoa powder, cigar tobacco, sweet spice and leather. The fine tannins are grippy and structured, complementing the black pepper, toast and licorice elements that linger on the finish. A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, 15% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot.’ - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100 (Jan 2015)

‘A polished style, with alluring mocha and black tea aromas that meld with the crushed plum, steeped blueberry and macerated currant fruit. Offers a long, fine-grained finish, remaining approachable, showing the depth and balance to gain some further nuance with time. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Apr 2014)

‘The 2011 Fusion V offers a smooth, quite voluptuous bouquet with dark cherries, plum and salted licorice that is well-defined. The palate shows admirable clarity with supple tannins, fleshy raspberry and red currant fruit that dovetail into a composed, harmonious finish that lingers long in the mouth. Lovely.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Oct 2013)
