Red frogs wrap around black cherry and pomegranate with sweet baking spices. Like walking into a Darrell Lea store back in the good old days where soft liquor meets all things chocolatey and childlike fancy. For those seeking the unctuous nature of McLaren Vale’s Shiraz fruit, it’s all here. Bestowing layers of fruit, carrying acidity and finely sieved tannins. Hard wine to go past at that price point. Drink with fatty lamb roast.
