A rich, fruit-forward Shiraz that combines the best elements of the variety with a sense of place thrown in for good measure. Blue and black fruits get a lift from umami notes, faint menthol scents and lively spice accents. The supple tannins have enough grip to extend the finish with good intensity and food friendly acidity. Great stuff! A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
