This wine is very deep red in colour as you would expect from Shiraz. Rich and as fruity as a fruit cake with all of the spices. It's just delicious and it makes me wonder why we don't drink more of this style of red these days... something to do with the pace of life I suppose. Make time for this wine and you'll be glad you did. It's great served cold as an aperitif while young or at any age with hard cheeses
