The International Wine & Spirit Competition 2002 - Silver
Clear ruby red with an opaque centre, showing paling at the rim. Clean cedar and green peppercorn introduce the cabernet, while the medicinal whiffs point to the shiraz component. The nose is tightly packed with a slight dusting of spice. An attractive dustiness is a very positive note here. The nose carries through onto the palate with fruit and oak contributing to a well-rounded feel with the bite of ripe tannin. Medium-bodied with a lingering finish.
Here is a cheerful young red with bouncy fruit, perfect to chill lightly and serve at lunch. Partner with casual steaks, grilled cutlets or sausages. Delightful with stuffed lamb shoulder and pork with crackling.
