Bright ruby red. Immediately aromatic and spicy, bright black and white peppercorns, liquorice strap and creamy black cherry and raspberry fruit with a potpourri lift and ironstone complexity. All gaining depth with aeration. The palate is bright fruited, fleshy and full- speaking of the cool site and season in a warm region. Black cherry and liquorice lead, again backed by pepper and spice, framed by the dense tannic structure from these old dry grown vines. A very “Burgundy” style shiraz. - Joshua Cooper, Winemaker.
