Scarborough Red 2006

The blend shows an abundance of red fruit and spice, along with subtle oak undertones. This follows to a velvety palate with soft elegant tannins and good length.
The wine is best enjoyed at 18°C with a hearty dish and is ready for drinking now, however will
improve over the next 5 years.
