The wine was matured in 95% French oak and 5% American oak; 40% new and 60% used, for 15 months. The result is a medium to full bodied, mouth filling, fruit driven Shiraz with dark plum, blackberry and cherry fruit characters, a hint of mint, white pepper and well balanced acid with fine tannins. Rich and fruity now and will reward cellaring for 3-5 years.!
