Arniston Bay Cape Crossings Cabernet Sauvignon / Shiraz 2009

Excellent deep ruby red. Nose is reminiscent of dark berry fruits with hints of nutmeg and vanillin. Very elegant, well structured palate with ripe, fine tannins and a lingering rich finish. Oak well integrated, complements a well-balanced medium to full bodied wine.

This wine is great on its own or relaxing with friends over a barbecue.
