NOTES
The Lynn family have been residents of the Penola - Coonawarra district for over four generations, starting out as store-Keepers and then graduating into grazing. The property on which Majella now stands was originally owned by Frank Lynn, and bought by his nephew, George, in 1960.
Brian Lynn, also known as Prof to nearly everyone, and the elder of the Lynn brothers, looks after all the admin and marketing for Majella. As well as being the noisy one, he plays the piano and organ tolerably well, has an interest in the politics of the viticulture and wine industries, likes red wine and Malt Whisky
TASTING NOTES
The wine has a wonderful deep magenta colour with a rich nose, redolent of ripe plums, black berry and hints of dusty oak. The palate is true Coonawarra cabernet – very structured, with layers of black fruits. This wine is rich with fruitcake complexity. The lingering finish is very dry and overlaid with “fine grain” tannins.
REVIEWS
Spotlessly clean; a fine, long, supple palate driven by fresh, cassis-accented fruit; fine, ripe tannins. Screwcap. Rating 94 Drink 2015 James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010
