Critics say:
Colour is an intense purple with crimson hues. A lovely tight wine with aromas of praline and violets, the nose shows peppery Shiraz, raspberry and plum fruit aromas against a background of fragrant, nutty oak. A medium bodied to full bodied wine with sweet raspberry and plum fruit flavours contributing to the rich mid palate. Liquorice and pepper and vanilla coconut oak, sweet and perfumed, very syrupy and very soft, fine and supple tannins provide structure for the immeasurably long finish. "Lovely complex nose of big ripe fruit and oak aromas with barrel-ferment characters. Lovely intense sweet fruit flavours; lots of oak but is an integral part of the wine. Excellent length. Very claret-like!" -Winestate.com
"Dark, dense and chewy, with black pepper, liquorice and cherry flavours on a firm, chewy frame!" -Winespectator.com
The winemaker says:
This wine was matured for 15 months in a mixture of seasoned and new American and French oak hogsheads.
Colour: Deep red.
Nose: Blackberry and raspberry fruit, charry, chocolatey oak with lifted pepper and clove nuances. Palate: True to the nose, the Limestone Ridge is a medium to full bodied wine with sweet blackberry and raspberry fruit on the palate, with darker chocolate notes, finishing with lengthy, fine tannins. - Lindemans
