Dense but vibrant crimson-purple, with no lightening on the rim; a prime example of McLaren Vale shiraz taken to the brink of dead fruit, but not going over; instead there is a plush array of black fruits, dark chocolate and licorice, ripe tannins and oak both givens. Strictly for those who like full-bodied wines

Ripe, supple and succulent, offering a juicy mouthful of red berry, blackberry, cherry, clove and white pepper flavors that sail easily over refined tannins, picking up steam on the finish. Best from 2014 through 2020. 1,500 cases made.
