A lateral shiraz with depth and persistence, morello cherry and boysenberry blend seamlessly into the fine tannins that gently grip, then let go and surrender to the juicy depths of this wildly enjoyable Clare Valley Shiraz.

Dense garnet colour. An intense nose of brambly fruit, crushed violets and coffee on the nose with hints of leather and mint. The palate is medium bodied with flavours of blackberries, blood plums and dark chocolate. Ripe, earthy tannins are supported by cedary oak and balanced by fine acidity and great length.

Bright red berries- boysenberries and raspberries- some fennel seed and sage, dutch licorice and classic Clare ironstone.It’s a really supple and sinewy wine, sculpted muscle through the palate tapering off to a fine tannin finish. It’s remarkably sprightly and fresh for its age and is only just hitting its straps. It’s got years ahead of it.

This is a wine proudly displaying its regional origins, rippling with the textbook dark fruit, spearmint, licorice and ironstone characters that define the region’s best cabernet based blends. It’s fine framed and nicely poised, lots of lively red fruits and a bright juiciness to the palate. Gently grippy, tightly wound tannins provide impressive length.

Bright ruby in the glass with a fine bead on the tongue that shows lifts of youthful sour cherry flavours with earthly undertones leading in to a lingering plummy finish.
