Deep, dark colour, with a dark and brooding character to match, the ample black fruits, ironstone minerality and licorice are all wound up tightly by well-handled oak; the palate is sweet-fruited and generous on entry, with the backbone of structure providing a long and harmonious ride to the extended finish.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 Leston Shiraz gives a nose of blackberry preserves, wild blueberries and baking spices over gentle black pepper and lilac hints. Medium to full-bodied and generously fruited with plenty of warm blackberry, cinnamon and pepper flavors, it has a medium to high level of velvety tannins and enlivening acid, finishing long. Drink it now to 2019+.Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 Leston Shiraz gives a nose of blackberry preserves, wild blueberries and baking spices over gentle black pepper and lilac hints.
