Colour: Rich ruby with great depth and gradation to a lighter plum edge.
Nose: Forthcoming intensity of ripe black berries intermingled with leather, pepper and discreet oak vanillins.
Palate: Smooth intense black cherry entry with mouthfilling spice and vanilla flavours well supported by firm ripe tannins and a rich lingering aftertaste. Overall a distinguished full bodied Shiraz with concentrated cherry fruit and spice flavours.
Food suggestions: Rich game casseroles, smoked meat, glazed gammon, roasted red meat with rich gravy, grilled fillet, rump and sirloin, mature hard cheese.
