A full-bodied wine with fragrant blackcurrant with fine cedar-like oak aromatics. The plate is rich in ripe dark fruit characters and a subtle oak characters. A well balanced mouthfeel is complimented by light dusty tannins, perfectly balanced by natural acidity and a clean finish. Pair with a grilled beef burger or steak with hand-cut chips.

The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins, tight acidity and juicy fruit flavors including wild cherry, blackberry, boysenberry, and plum.

Deep red with ruby hues. The wine exhibits vibrant, characteristic aromas of ripe blackcurrants, blueberries, and dark plums meshed with hints of bay and liquorice and subtle spicy, toasty oak. The generous palate is packed full of juicy fruits of the forest, cassis and chocolate characters. Medium to full-bodied, the fleshy fruits are supported by moreish, supple and ripe tannins. A balanced wine, with a persistent fruit finish with beautiful regional savoury inflections of bay, black olive and liquorice.

Yarra Valley Pet Nat Refreshing and expressive wine Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc.

Frankland River Shiraz has a strong reputation for quality and its ability tocellar and age gracefully. The Black Label Shiraz is delicate with firm, ripetannins, fresh red berry fruit and subtle toasty French Oak length. APPEARANCE Vibrant ruby with purple hue. NOSE Upfront red berries with hints of black pepper and barrel spice. PALATE Firm, ripe tannins, cherries and hints of French Oak on the finish.

Fruit from Frankland River. Matured in French oak barriques (10% new) and blended with 2% barrel-fermented viognier prior to bottling. Savoury, meaty and slick, as many shiraz viogniers can be. The ironstone gravels of Frankland River impart a ferrous/blood character on the wines, which is evident here through the finish. Structured and firm, this is very good because it plays within a medium-bodied frame, while having very good flavour concentration. Not an easy thing to achieve!93 Points, James Halliday
