"Only the second release of this wine. The cooler vintage in 2017 suited Barossa floor Cabernet well and this is reflected in the wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon portion of this wine could stand alone but the wine came alive once the Shiraz was blended in",
Craig Stansborough, Chief Winemaker.

NOSE: Powerful and rich with some ruggedness on the nose. Strong Cabernet traits, black coffee, dark mint chocolate and earthy notes. As the wine breathes in the glass Barossa Shiraz shines through with aromas of plum, dark cherry and spice.

PALATE: Vibrant and complex. Cabernet notes continue on the palate with dark mint chocolate, berries and rich black coffee. Thick and luxurious Shiraz providing lovely dark cherry and spice with a smooth-as-cream finish.

Pairs well with Roasted red meats and rich chocolate desserts

95 Points – Huon Hooke – The Real Review 2020 – “Deep red colour with a good purple tinge. The bouquet showcases assorted red fruits with notes of rose-petals and raspberry. Oak is very much under control, which is very pleasing. It's intense, full-bodied, firm and fresh in the mouth, with great poise and persistence. The cabernet and shiraz components are perceptible but combine seamlessly. An impressive new arrow in this producer's quiver.”
