Really good. I'm not usually a fan of Cab-Shiraz blends from Australia, but this is really really good! Good balance of acidity and tannin. Smooth finish.

A very solid winery that never disappoints me. This was a touch hot for my taste, but what Australian Shriaz is under 15% anyway...

Eucalyptus nose. Dry, with muted fruit on the palate, which is balanced and has a nice mouthfeel for the price point.

A little harsher on the tannins then I prefer. If it were a bit smoother I’d give it a higher rating. Full-bodied with hints of cedar(?).maybe? Also I detect vanilla.

Lots of smokey notes, full body and well-rounded tannins on the finish. Nice accompaniment to barbecued pork ribs.
