This is a powerful Barossa Valley Shiraz that shows the best of what that region has to offer. Bold and assertive cherry, plum flavors on the front, with tar notes and pepper on the mid-palate. The finish is both long and complex. Has all of the power that you expect from good Australian Shiraz while managing to retain an elegance and structure that only the best can achieve.

Excellent chardonnay. Unoaked but nine months sur-lie aging gives it a creamy mouthfeel. Crisp green apple and pear flavors with a bit of tropical fruit notes.

Phenomenal Merlot, richly concentrated and powerful, but with the velvety smoothness that Merlot is famous for. Cassis, blueberry, and blackberry jam flavors give way gracefully to leather and milk chocolate notes. Incredibly long finish, this is a Merlot to be savored.
