Richly fruited with seductive complexity, the wine shows blackberry, cake spice, potpourri, cured meat and cedar characters on the nose. The impressively concentrated palate offers outstanding depth and plush texture, combined with finely polished, mouth-coating tannins, making it sturdy yet graceful and flatteringly classy.

Inaugural bottling of the Transcendence shiraz. Attractive and seductive on the nose, full of black plums, cloves, mint chocolate, vanilla and ripe cherries. Touch of negroni to it. It's full-bodied and creamy, with depth and structure. Long, dark-fruited and velvety. Fantastic concentration at only 13.5% alcohol.
