Shiraz may take the lead here, but the Cabernet certainly flexes its muscle to keep things in check. Passata and roasted peppers bring a savoury hum that flows into blackberries, char, licorice bullets and a touch of carob. There’s thyme and mint weaving through the background, adding lift and freshness. It’s got a rustic charm delivering firmish, gravelly tannins that anchor the palate with authority and texture. This one feels built for the outdoors: campfire smoke in the air, the night cooling down, and a generous pour in hand. Lots of camping and cool-night appeal here or date with Netflix - you choose.
