This wine reflects the unique characteristics of each variety, with Shiraz providing rich, fruit-forward flavors and a lush mouthfeel, while Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure, depth, and elegant tannins. The 2013 vintage benefited from ideal growing conditions, producing a wine with intense aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and blackberry, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and subtle earthy undertones.
On the palate, this wine reveals a layered complexity, with ripe black fruit flavors balanced by hints of spice, cedar, and fine-grained tannins that provide a long, smooth finish.
