This is a 51%/49% blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has cassis, black raspberries, graphite, black pepper, spice and char. Full bodied. Firm tannins. Good balance. On the palate, this is delicious. Flavors of cassis, \black cherries, black raspberries, slight herbal note (mint?), spice and char. Long finish. This is deep and complex if still very young. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years. This is great on its own and will work well with grilled meat, fowl or veggies.
