Vigneron Notes: 

Sourced from the organic J&J single vineyard site on Rivers Lane in the heart of McLaren Vale this is the first of many Rivers Lane series wines to be released. The 2009/10 growing season was the best seen in over a decade. The long, even ripening period allowed the fruit to mature gradually and reach its ultimate ripeness and flavour potential.

Tried this wine along with the Premium. I loved them both and at $25 this is great wine.
