Ruby with a plum core. Lifted, joyful floral aromas of hibiscus and potpourri, then an undercurrent of Crème de Cassis. Red berries and blueberries sprinkled with white pepper spice. There are fresh herbs too, bay leaf and sage taper into the scent of fresh rain. Shiraz-led the spice and silk of the cultivar unwinds into opulent tones on the palate of clove-studded plum pudding, lashings of wild purple berries along a structured backbone of Cabernet. Super juicy and charged. Paper fine tannins brush alongside a lemony, springy acidity to the finish, which is equal parts bright and appetizingly dry. Superb drinkability without sacrificing concentration.

Blend: 60% Shiraz, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Mourvedre , 6% Viognier, 5% Grenache, 4% Cinsault
