Cabernet
Shiraz 2009 There
is always one in a family that is better looking but not necessarily
better… This is ours. It seems to attract and be relished
by all newcomers to the brand.
Our philosophy
of only bottling wines that reflect the low cropped, hand-picked
fruit from the single vineyard and which show many layers
of complexity is maintained with this release.
In 2009 we discovered that the best blend was 61% Cabernet
Sauvignon and 39% Shiraz; a slight departure from the past,
but the wine still exhibits the multi-layered appeal of its
predecessors.
Only 310 doz. made.
The berry
and chocolate characters contributed by the Cabernet are in
balance with the “allspice” nuances of the Shiraz..
The wine is released at its optimum but will reward further
aging in the bottle.
14% vol.
This
vintage evokes the descriptor of ‘elegance’.
Just
add roast chicken or spaghetti bolognese or beef casserole
or a slice or two of Margherita pizza.
Now
bring on the conversation!
