Howard Park
Leston Margaret River Shiraz
Deep, shimmering violet. Intensely perfumed cherry, cassis, potpourri and licorice aromas are complemented by smoky minerality and exotic spice nuances. Sappy and seamless in texture, offering bitter cherry and blue fruit flavors that expand and become sweeter with aeration. Shows excellent clarity and finishes impressively long and spicy, with round, even tannins and a lingering suggestion of blueberry preserves. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2021)

When you just get thrown Cabernet and it's all good.

Sep 10th, 2016Spice with not much dark fruit nose, medium to full body. Fine Tannin and considerable acidity make it well long lasting.

Feb 16th, 2019Nice nose with a deep red body & a medium to full body with little complexity but well integrated tannin & fruit & a decent medium length aftertaste.

May 26th, 2018Varietal characteristics. Dark fruits, some spice and pepper. Strong tannins, but still smooth. Drinking well now but could happily sit another few years.
