The fruit for the 2008 Limestone Coast Shiraz Cabernet is sourced from Mt. Benson, Robe, Coonawarra and Padthaway. Blended of 64% Shiraz and 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, it gives a very deep garnet purple color and pronounced blackberry and blackcurrant notes with some chocolate, mint and Mediterranean herbs. The concentrated, full bodied palate is well structured with high acidity and a medium level of grainy tannins, finishing long and fruity. Drink it now to 2014.

The 2007 Shiraz (75%)-Cabernet Sauvignon (25%) spent 18 months in oak. Dark ruby-colored, it displays a bouquet of plum, blackberry, and cherry. Smooth-textured, easy-going, and seamless on the palate, this savory flavorful effort can be enjoyed over the next 4 years. It is a very good value.
