Tasting Notes

• Taste: Ripe blackberry, plum, and blackcurrant take the lead, complemented by a touch of dark chocolate and spices like cinnamon and pepper. The Cabernet Sauvignon adds a structured backbone, balancing the juiciness of the Shiraz with tannins that give it a smooth, rounded finish.
• Aroma: A mix of fresh dark fruits—blackcurrant and blueberry—with a hint of vanilla from the oak, along with soft spices like cloves and a touch of leather.
• Finish: Long and smooth, with soft, velvety tannins and a lingering spice that leaves you wanting more.
• Food Match: Perfect with grilled meats like steak or lamb, pasta with rich tomato sauce, or even a charcuterie board with a mix of cheeses and cured meats.
