Flagstone The Secret Handshake 2005
Winemaking Notes Many people assume the CWG is a bit of a boy’s club. This isn’t true, but I still think we should have a secret handshake.

Many think this has been matured in French oak – I can not confirm or deny this, as I have used some very special barrels, which may or may not have come from France. The wine is delicious, and is so creamy and luscious because of the blend, the exact proportions of which I have been sworn to silence about by my cellar hands.
