Recommended by Vintage Assessments! A Best Buy |
Using only hand-picked fruit from the estate's vineyards, this blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for eight months in a combination of American and French oak barrels. Offering impressive depth, this fruit-forward wine features concentrated blackberry and raspberry fruit flavours, with a touch of spice, smoke and sweet oak on the lingering finish. Match it with braised beef and grilled root vegetables. |
