Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon (60%/40%) ~ 2010 Vintage
An absolute over-delivery of quality at this price point. A dark and rich wine - coffee & chocolate and smooth as silk... Bright and intense crimson red colour. Loaded with ripe red berry fruit; mulberry, raspberry and red cherry. Soft integration of roasted coffee and light chocolate flavours balanced with a hint of black spice. A soft smooth but well structured palate.
