This Shingleback is a typical McLaren Vale cabernet full of fruit, ripe tannins, and a structure that belies the price. With aromas of cassis, violet, and blueberries, enhanced by attractive notes of cedar, bayleaf, wet slate and an undercurrent of mint, the mid-palate delivers on those rich dark berry flavours, along with dark plum and chocolate, guided by chewy tannins, mineral elements and a balanced acidity. The classic, fine, slatey cabernet tannins encapsulate and focus the rich fruit palate into a long, savoury finish, making a filet de boeuf the perfect accompaniment, along with a hot date!
