Another great family producer from Mclaren Vale.

What’s it like?

James Halliday gave it 94 points. It’s actually 70% Shiraz 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Blackberry and vanilla on the nose with prominent fruit flavours, nicely cut by the acidity to cleanse the palate, making this an ideal wine to enjoy with food. Very smooth with great length. A really enjoyable bottle of wine.

How much? Where do I buy it?
