Roberts Rock Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

A medium-bodied, easy drinking wine with fruit aromas and soft tannins. Well structured with sweet fruit flavours of black berries, hints of spice and pepper. The wine shows interesting aromas of nutty vanilla and has an excellent follow through on the palate where the tannins are soft and ripe.

Serve with red meat, pastas, chicken, interesting patés and moussaka.
