This is the most fruit-driven expression in the Koomilya range, yet it carries the same structural integrity and longevity that defines Stephen Pannell’s flagship site in McLaren Vale. The block is named for Jill Cant, the previous custodian of the land and a figure connected to Stephen’s earliest work here as Chief Red Winemaker at Hardy’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"703\" data-end=\"1041\"\u003eThe palate moves from delicacy to intensity with understated force. Black fruits, quince paste and red currant meet savoury tones of chorizo, paprika and hickory, carried by tannins that expand slowly and with precision. A wine of balance and intent, the JC Block offers immediate pleasure with the shape and structure for long cellaring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1149\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1060\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1060\" data-end=\"1063\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1063\" data-end=\"1071\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1071\" data-end=\"1074\"\u003e– Spiced black fruit\u003cbr data-start=\"1094\" data-end=\"1097\"\u003eVanilla, dark berries and smoky cured meat aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1272\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1161\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1164\"\u003e– Fruit-forward and poised\u003cbr data-start=\"1190\" data-end=\"1193\"\u003eBlack plum, quince, paprika and red currant framed by fine, building tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1274\" data-end=\"1380\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1274\" data-end=\"1284\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1287\"\u003e– Structured and complete\u003cbr data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1315\"\u003eSustained, pure and textural with floral lift and savoury length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"23\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"27\" data-end=\"422\" style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e“The JC has a distinct shape, a harmony, an engulfing perfume, a blend of flavour depth with spice and dusky florals, and an effortlessness … It’s suffused with place, the bush-fringed site, with a sense of fallen gums subsumed into the soil, intertwining with the ripe but not juicy deep red fruits, along with a rusty iron note, salumi and panforte.
