Winemaker Notes
Bright aromas of ripe black and blue fruits are complemented by holiday spice notes on the nose. The medium to full-bodied palate shows layers of cola, black cherry, mixed berry jam and cloves. The wine is juicy and plush with a firm structure and balanced acidity.

Wine Enthusiast
Plum and cherry fruits are backed by Szechuan peppercorns, cloves and mint on this characterful Shiraz. There's a good lick of cola oak here too. The palate is fresher than expected, wound by taut tannins that feel a bit austere. It has a burst of tangy fruit and an intriguing spice rack of flavors, but the wine needs plenty of protein to cut through those tannins.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”
Covering a long strip of southeastern coastline in South Australia, the Limestone Coast growing region has a moderately cool climate and includes the subregions of Coonawarra, Mount Benson, Mount Gambier, Padthaway, Robe and Wrattonbully.
Its warm northern and inland areas are recognized for high quality, full-bodied Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The much cooler Mount Gambier, to the extreme south, is well-suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
