WineDiva's Review

Expressive, chocolaty, supple.
This vintage the Athene is 48% Cabernet Sauvignon and 52% Syrah. It is aged in American and Hungarian oak, half new, half one-year-old.
It is stylish and expressive with grapey aromas wound around blueberry, chocolate, mocha and baking spice with a meaty core doused with wild herbs. It is supple with great structure; it is smooth, chocolaty and spicy with cherry and wild berry flavours rolling across the finish. Overall, great balance and structure.
Pair: Pepper crusted rib-eye steak, hearty mushroom ravioli with Parmesan and herbs or seasonal game meats.
