South Eastern Australia Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon
South Eastern, Australia
A nice spicy Cabernet/ Shiraz blend from Australia. Drinking very nicely now, as a three-year-old. Much better than last year.
Showing black fruits, spices, peppercorn, chocolates, oak and licorice.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up.
Nice length on the finish with soft tannins and raspberries.
15% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

A blend of 75% Shiraz and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Big aromas of red fruits with notes of sweet spice. On the palate blackberry and plum, a little towards the jammy side, with notes of cacao and herb spice. Bold rich tannins, medium length ending with berry and spicy finish. Ok value!

This Cabernet Shiraz Blend is starting to drink nicely now. I had it almost a year ago and it was not as good as it is now. Well balanced with a great mouthfeel and a tangy ending.
Good by itself or with food, and needs 2 hours to open up properly.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of cheeses and Meats.

Deep purple in color with a short purplish rim.
Nose of cherries, plums, blueberries, pomegranates, chocolates, raspberries, oak, vanilla, licorice, earth, spices, smoke, mocha and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, plums, cranberries, earth, chocolates, wood, licorice, spices, tobacco, green vegetables, herbs, spices and black pepper.
Tart finish with firm tannins and sour raspberries.
This Australian Cabernet - Shiraz blend is spicy and not fully balanced yet. Enjoyable with food.
Better now than last year that I had it, but still young. Last year, the flavors were all separated, and now they are put together nicely.
Needs an additional year in the bottle to mature property.
I paired it with hard cheeses and light appetizers.
