Kumkani Shiraz / Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Shows ripe berry fruit from the Shiraz with rich cassis and soft tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Fruit layered palate supported by underlying notes of milled pepper and warm spice which is well integrated with oak aromas and a complex, yet soft tannin structure. Good finish.

This wine complements virtually any meal.
