Stonehill Bristle Red 2007

Bright red ruby colour.

Nose leads with ripe berry fruits where dark cherry, plum and strawberry play a part. Great spicy backing with just a subtle hint of oak in support. Hints of fynbos and smoke slowly emerge to add greater complexity. Supple tannins give lively mouth feel. Seamless blend gives great combination of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz without either being dominant. Good balance makes for easy drinking yet has lots of potential to develop over two to three years.

Versatile wine that drinks well on it''s own while compliments a wide range of foods.
