Rob Diletti is one of the most talented producers in Australia, Castle Rock Estate is not known for Shiraz, however this is an excellent cool climate example of the variety. A medium red in the glass with a nose of pepper, plum and some charcuterie notes that are lifted by vanillin richness.
The plate has expansive dark berry fruits that are carried by a baseline of drying tannin that has coffee and vanillin tones with rhubarb and red cherry alongside a fine dusting of earth framing the finish.
