Region | McLaren Vale
Varietal | Cabernet Sauvignon 50%, Shiraz 41%, Merlot 9%
Alcohol | 14.5 %
Colour | Bright, polished garnet with crimson
Nose | Sweet and fragrant red currants, dark cherries and blackberries sit comfortably with Aromas of dark chocolate, cinnamon and nutmeg. Rosemary and autumn leaf characters bring a savoury element, as do barrel influences of vanilla pod, cedar,and toasted oak.
Palate | Blood plums, cranberry and liquorice combine with polished tannins to give a supple, even mouthfeel with a fine-grained finish. A vibrant line runs the length of the palate, balanced by richer elements as of roasted meats, burnt butter and sage. This classic example of the blend achieves harmony and easy approachability
Food Pairing | Barbequed lamb loin chops, or grilled cauliflower steaks with lemon, garlic and
parsley.
