"From a long-standing McLaren Vale wine family, this red blend is rare Down Under in that it's a cofermented field blend of Cabernet and Shiraz. Cabernet's distinctive characters shine on the nose: eucalyptus, olive brine, juicy berry fruit and some pencil lead. But Shiraz's chocolaty richness is there, too. At first sip, there's a silkiness and easygoing nature that belies a serious graphite-like tannin structure. Watch this change in the glass over time. Sip with roast beef on a chilly winter's eve." -Christina Pickard
