Wine Orbit, November 2015
A delectable blend of McLaren Vale and Padthaway, it is fabulously ripe and aromatic on the nose displaying blackberry, plum jam, mint chocolate and toasted nut aromas, which lead to a plump palate that is rounded and silky. Expressive and flavoursome, this is a highly enjoyable shiraz with no hard edges. At its best: now to 2020.
