NAMYSTO – Shiraz / Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Initial aromas of red berries with hints of green peppercorn (spiciness) leads through to layered profiles of tobacco and leather, rounding off into a plummy richness on the mid-palate and finishing off with soft, velvety tannins.

Will complement most red-meat dishes and an array of cheeses, however, it is also delicious on its own.
