97% Shiraz and 3% Viognier. Matured in 26% new barrels for 18 months. This wine never fails to impress me. It allures with tulip, violet and inky purple florals. Then black cracked pepper and star anise spice waltz on in. A magenta hue of boysenberries, blueberries and black fig. Olive and rosemary, thyme and earthy beetroot relish. It’s angular in its granite like shape and shows it’s made of more than just edible things. With powdery tannins and driving acidity, this is spectacular now and will cellar well for another 10-12 years. Serve pepper crusted backstrap of lamb.
