James Healy and Ivan Sutherland left Cloudy Bay in 2003, after many years service as winemaker and vineyard manager respectively, to make wine from Ivan`s Dog Point vineyard. Aromas of ripe red fruit infused with notes of violets and an underlying earthy character. Richly flavored with dense red and black fruit, the palate shows a combination of excellent tannin structure, well-integrated oak and a rounded lingering earthy finish. Nice with duck, red meats, mushroom pie. |
