This fragrant, spicy and fine-grained shiraz made in a northern Rhone style has a sweetly fruited, confiture-like perfume of raspberries, blackberries and restrained cedar/vanilla oak whose floral lift is such that you would bet on the presence of viognier. An elegant palate of fresh dark berries, cherries and plums is backed by charcuterie-like, forest floor undertones and a loose-knit spine of firmish tannins, finishing long and savoury."
