2008 HEATHCOTE II "MYOLA" CABERNET MERLOT
1st June 2011 ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATEThe 2008 Myola is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon and was matured in French oak for 22 months, 30% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it presents intense notes of warm black currant and stewed plums over scents of sandalwood and dried Provence herbs. Very full bodied with a very high amount of acid, this is a big, plush version of a Bordeaux blend with plenty of concentrated warm berry flavors and a long finish. It’s good now but should improve over the next 4-6 years, drinking to 2021+.

30th December 2009 ROBERT PARKER THE WINE ADVOCATEThe 2007 Myola is a blend of 30% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 22% Shiraz that was naturally fermented and bottled without fining or filtration. A teeth-staining purple/black color, it offers up a port-like perfume of assorted black fruits that jump from the glass. Full-bodied (the label says 15% alcohol but I don’t believe it for a second), dense, extracted, and structured, it has tons of fruit in a go-for-broke style reminiscent of the late-harvest Zinfandels from Mayacamas and Montevina in the 1970s. Those who don’t fear going all-in should bury a few bottles in the cellar for curiosity’s sake if nothing else. Heathcote II is an 11 acre estate producing 900 cases of no-holds-barred red wines that will offend those with dainty palates and please those looking for a big smack in the face. (Jay Miller)

2007 HEATHCOTE II "MYOLA"CAB SAUVIGNON
30th October 2009 TANZER’S INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLAR(a blend of 30% merlot, 25% cabernet franc, 23% cabernet sauvignon and 22% shiraz) Saturated ruby color. Captivating, floral-driven aromas of red- and blackcurrant, rose oil, spicecake, smoky herbs and licorice. Suave on entry, then sappy and chewy in the middle, with powerful, deeply concentrated dark berry flavors and subtle floral and mineral elements adding complexity. The minerality builds on the finish, which is firm and impressively energetic. (Josh Raynolds)
