Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark fruits with spice and herb notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with cacao, leafy herbs and vanilla spice. Fine tannins, savory, medium finish ending with fruit, nutty oaky notes and herbaceous character. Tasting Sample.

Blend of 64% Shiraz and 36% Cabernet Sauv, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, spice and herbs. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with notes of cinnamon and cacao. Medium+ finish, fine tannins, lively acidity ending with fruit, cedar and herb character. Good value!

Just okay. Not sod a strong body that I expected. Also lots of sediments when close to bottom

With 64 percent Shiraz, the blackberry is strongly apparent on the palate. Inky dark in color. Tannins usually apparent in Cabs is very contained. February 2021.
