The Viognier component was pressed off with the skins added to the Shiraz ferment to increase texture and complexity. Fifteen percent Shiraz whole bunches were also used to add further interest.
Pretty scents captivate from the outset. Blue flowers, violets and purple fruit swarm reaching out to entice. Such a refined wine now, the next few years will continue to draw its best.
Raspberries dipped in dark chocolate run at you upon opening. Once that juvenile charm rushes through, you're met with red licorice, coconut husk and dark cherries. There's great width through the mouth with the words elegance and persistence bouncing around my mind. Fine spices close on a luxurious finish. A gorgeous wine.
Drink now to eight years.
