Deep in color. The rich Shiraz fills out the power of the Cabernet Sauvignon in this red wine blend as dark chocolate, blackberry, shiraz spice, and minerality carry through the balanced finish.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
Why Australian Wine is Some of the Most Exciting in the World The sum is greater than the parts here. Stunning interaction of the two grapes. The shiraz fills and lightens the cabernet just perfectly. Abundant red and dark berries, plums and chocolate. Super fine tannins, too. This is blended to perfection. A brilliant wine.
