Ross Hill 'The Griffin' is the label's flagship red, selected from the best of their Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It embodies the soul of the iconic Griffin Road original vineyard. Maturation of 18 months in new French oak barriques has refined and focused the palate. An outstanding example of the classic Cabernet blend - and a cellaring gem!
