Natalie's Score: 89/100

This winery sources all of its grapes from estate vineyards and the harvesting is done by hand. This Shiraz (60%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) blend spends 8 months in American and French oak, which imparts depth and richness to the wine, along with toasty oak and vanilla smoke aromas. Lots of dark fruit to fill out all the spaces in this wine. Rich and fleshy black and purple plum flavours on this finish. A crowd pleaser. Pair with hamburgers dressed with all the fixins.

Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: braised beef and grilled root vegetables, beef fajitas, pepper steaks.

Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Great quality/price ratio. A delicious blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon hand picked and aged in French oak. This wine had me at the initial nose of Bumbleberry pie. Follow that up with cherry liqueur, sweet spices, black plum and pepper and it's a done deal. This is a full-bodied red wine with some mild tannins and good balancing acidity. A real price performer at $16. Buy a case for those long cold winter evenings by the fire...you know they're coming. Great beef wine.
Tasted: Sept 2015
Very spicy with lots of acidity, this robust Argentine red wine is made from grapes that are hand-harvested only and grown in the winery's own estate vineyards. This full-bodied blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon is matured for 8 months in both American and French oak barrels. - Community Wine Reviews
