This is pretty oaky, but features enough fruit to support the wood. There’s cedar, vanilla and a bit of coconut, but also some slightly stewed cassis. It’s creamy and thickly textured, with plush tannins and masses of vanilla-laden flavor. Drink now.

A 50-50 Shiraz-Grenache blend that has pretty black pepper and menthol accents on the nose. The palate offers up mixed berry and vanilla flavors, but lacks depth and stuffing.
