Arniston Bay Shiraz / Merlot 2008

This Shiraz / Merlot blend is generous and complex with aromas of black cherries and plums. Rich and dense, the complexity of the flavours plays out progressively, beginning with blackberry and plum and finishing with toasty cedar aromas. Tannins are ripe, juicy and delicate.

Enjoy with roasted chicken, blackened salmon, or semi-soft and herbed cheeses. Can also be enjoyed with a range of different meat dishes, but is especially suited to bright, modern cooking
