This Shiraz is from the western districts of the Barossa and just starting to develop some secondary characters and showcases the array of flavours and complexity from the darling variety of the region.

A dark red in the glass, the nose gives a meaty expression of plum fruit with a touch of leather and spice. The full bodied palate is saturated with dark berry fruits, tannins are supple but mouth filling. Oak has meshed with the fruit giving a suggestion of oak spice and milk chocolate somewhere in the mix. There is a dark berry compote and a sweet earthen note that frames the finish.
