A very nice, medium bodied, red fruit driven Shiraz from the Robert Oatley family of wines that’s got a lot of stuffing for the price. Raspberry, cherry, plum, vanilla, fall spice and mild meaty flavors are complimented with hints of roasted coffee and baker’s chocolate. Citrus zest keeps the finish lively, making this an excellent autumn quaffer that could pair well with bold appetizers.
