Rich and ripe, this is a classic South Australia Shiraz. It exhibits lovely blueberry and blackberry aroma wrapped in sweet oak vanillin. The tannins are nicely integrated, but this wine would definitely benefit with additional age in the cellar. It won a platinum award at the recent Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition in San Diego.
