Parcels of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz were vinified and matured separately, later blended and matured for a further 6 months. Total time in barrel, 18 months. Supple, juicy, and pretty. Medium-weight cabernet shiraz – not at all the big ballsy wine that could be of the blend. The acidity is a little more pert than expected, but freshening, in this instance. The oak, even after all this time, is still obvious in the mouth and through the finish; the dark fruit riding it like a chariot.
