Tasting Notes: Color: Dark, clear garnet

Upfront aromas of smoke, charred meat, shoe polish and smoked damson plums give way to subtler aromas of brown sugar, mace, Ranier cherries, currants and stonefruit skins.

Full, firm but sweet attack loaded with vanilla, licorice and Italian plums. This wine is mediumbodied, at least, and very broad across the midpalate, but graceful, with supple fluid texture. The
fruit profile frequently shifts focus, with variations on the typical themes of cherries, plums and currants, always well-framed by spice. Tannins
are substantial, but always in-bounds, herded by the balanced acidity. The finish is long and vibrant. Pair with heartier chicken dishes, the
other white meat, or lightly sauced red meat, say Kangaroo with Lilli Pilli reduction.
