Dark toast and graphite contrast cheerful red-plum and cherry aromas on the nose. The palate is ripe with blackberry and plum flavors, but a tad lean in concentration. Hints of green herb, bramble and bright, zippy acidity lead to an elegant finish.

Hints of char, smoke and green bramble accent tart black-fruit and vanilla-spice flavors in this Shiraz (with a splash of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon). The dense tannins are tacky on the palate, but zesty acidity and fresh flower and herb notes on the finish add elegance.

The nose is somewhat off-putting with some sharp, acrid notes, but the dry palate is palate is sunny with hints of ripe tangerines and marmalade flavors.
