Withington Shiraz Cabernet 2004

International Wine Challenge - Seal of Approval
A well-rounded wine with complex herbaceous and cassis flavours, which are well balanced with the tannins and soft oak notes.

This wine will go well with almost all foods. While especially good with meat and pastas, it also has the guts to stand up to light curry or Thai-style stew.
