"Kays has risen to the impressive 2010 vintage, pulling its wines back to a more precise style, emphasising varietal fruit, vibrancy and structure over ripeness, alcohol and oak, making for its most focused Mataro yet." - Tyson Stelzer, Wine100.

Medium to deep purple, a lively nose of fresh raspberries, finely ground white pepper, and aniseed. The intensity builds on the palate revealing more red and black berries, raspberries, cinnamon and dried tobacco leaf. With fine, furry tannins and good structure the 2010 Mataro finishes firm and dry.
