Deep, dark purple, dense and solid to the edge. Dark plum fruit and subtle wood
spice sits alongside a slight sanguine waft and brief glimpses of cured billtong/
jerky meat and dried tobacco leaf. Rich ripe dark berry fruit combines with just a
hint of tongue coating dustiness and classic Shiraz flavour of dark chocolate and
coffee bean all then pinned in just enough by a super fine tannin structure. The
lush fruit does not let up, but keeps rolling though in waves driving long through
to the finish.

Pair this wine with grilled or roast beef especially served rare or with a pepper sauce. Also, barbecued ribs, sausages or smoked brisket or grilled vegetables. For the cooler months, this wine begs for a rich osso bucco dish.
