Ripe fruity aromas with hints of smoke and earth. Opulent mouthfeel with leather, tobacco and black fruits. Bold yet smooth tannins and long finish.

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (63%), Shiraz (28%) and Merlot (9%). Dark red color. Big aromas of dark fruit and black licorice. Pallet is also full of dark fruit along with dark chocolate, spices and a touch of vanilla. There is a roasted quantity to this wine. Full bodied but well integrated. Long and dry finish. Well made. Thank You Ron B!

Peppery, bright red fruits, tart. Syrah really shows through.
