This wine is the perfect introduction to the king of Margaret River reds. Cabernet fruit shining through in this blend with the moderate body of shiraz sitting in the middle of the palate. Blackberry pie, black cherry, after dinner mints and a savoury pancetta finish. A glossy lick of alcohol that highlights the dense black fruit. A wine that will continue to develop at the back of your cellar. Or be a bit of a star towards the end of your meal. I’d serve this wine with an aged crumbly cheddar, some fig compote and a fluffy white baguette.
