A smooth blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (51%) with Shiraz and Merlot. Ripe black fruit aromas edged in spice, blackcurrant leaf and eucalypt. Ageing in a mixture of French and American barriques and hogsheads, adds structure and spice to the generous black fruit, with ripe tannins, plus savoury notes that linger on the spicy finish. Great with steak and beefy dishes.
