Cape Jaffa Epic Drop Shiraz 2022

From the same Mt Benson estate blocks of Shiraz as for the En Soleil Shiraz, it has also spent a year maturing in older oak. An exuberant dark purple colour here, the nose offers notes of plums, coffee grinds, spices and a hint of rosella jam. This is intense and elegant, impressive stuff. The palate sees the move to black fruits, cassis, a flick of vegemite and soy. There is focus and energy with serious length and satiny tannins. So much to like here. It will drink beautifully for the next eight to twelve years.
