This McLaren Vale blend has all those notes characteristic of this region's reds: red berries with velvet soft tannins, allowing for good length and structure. The nose displays aromas of ripe blackberries and liquorice over a chocolate, oakey spice, while the palate is vibrant with more of those blueberry, liquorice and blackberry characters blended with some toasty vanillin cedar and spice. With smooth tannins, this wine pairs well with shepherd's pie or spaghetti bolognese.
