Made up of 72% shiraz and 28% cabernet, 96% of which is from the hometown postcode of Padthaway (the skerrick remaining, McLaren Vale), this is a welcome respite from the burly, unyielding wines of yore. This has metastasised into something full-bodied, sure, but savoury and fresh. A deck of cabernet herb is played across the ace of regional generosity. And played well.

A blend of 72% Shiraz and 28% Cabernet Sauvignon drawn from Padthaway and McLaren Vale, the 2017 Henry's Drive Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon features restrained aromas of mint and cassis, then opens up on the medium to full-bodied palate to add blueberry and blackberry flavors. It's ripe and creamy, framed by wood tannins and streaks of vanilla, which linger on the silky-textured finish.
