2007 ACJ

 

Winemaker’s Notes

 

This rarely released wine is named in honour of our

founder, Alexander Campbell Johnston, who over

118 years ago planted his first small vine cutting in

rich red soil near the town of McLaren Vale. South Australia.

 

Only produced if the varietal parcels display

outstanding characters, the 2007 ACJ is only our

second release and restricted to 500 dozen. The

wine is a blend of 61% Shiraz from the Warhorse

vineyard, 24% Petit Verdot selected from Siberia

block and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon from

Keith’s Block.

The bouquet displays briary black cherry, roasted

coffee bean, violets plus subtle cedar and musk. On

the palate intense black plum, mulberry and Spice

are complemented by hints of mocha and black

olive. All enveloped in quality French oak and

beautifully integrated fine grain tannins. Decant to

drink now or will age gracefully for many years.
