"Seductive, intensely aromatic and pure on the nose, with notes of deep black raspberry, cherry-cola, smoky herbs and flowers. Lush, creamy dark berry and cherry compote flavors coat the palate, with velvety tannins adding gentle support. Bitter chocolate and licorice notes arrive on the finish, lending seriousness and grip. But this wine will require some patience."

Renowned for powerful, richly fruited Shiraz, most famously from the Barossa Valley, alongside age-worthy Cabernet and cool-climate whites. A warm climate and old, ungrafted vines produce wines of generosity and depth.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
