Henry’s Drive, McLaren Vale (Australia) Shiraz / Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

I like the power of red fruit over the more typical black fruit in this glass, with notes of pepper and cedar chest adding interest.  The oak toast level seems to be just right here, and it keeps the fruit pumping right alongside in the finish without covering it up. This will work with meats of all kinds — I’m leaning toward well marbled ribeye.
