Tasting
A deep red, slightly bricking towards the rim of the glass.
The nose shows earthy dark plum, with the palate a seamless expression of cool climate shiraz with inputs of fruit, oak and tannin working together to create a wine that gives a suppleness to dark berry fruits, but at the same time benefits from spicy oak / peppery inputs. The tannins are drying and structural to finish.
A polished example of cool climate Shiraz.
