Overgaauw Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

3½ star John Platter Wine Guide 2007
An 80:20 blend where Shiraz contributes ripe cherry and red berry flavours, overlaid by savoury prosciutto notes, while Cabernet supplies structure. A warm-hearted, generous, velvety-textured wine, designed for immediate consumption and up to 5 years ageing, it has plenty of character.
