A vibrant purply dark red of medium depth. Spicy berry fruits on the nose from the Shiraz component along with attractive aromas of violets and blueberries. Quite complex for a young wine, it has a good depth of smoky, spicy berry fruits on the palate and is well weighted. It's fullness and good mouth feel is well balanced the light astringency and gently drying tannins which give this wine it's good long finish. Can be lightly chilled over the summer months due to the softer tannins from the Pinot Noir component.
