Tasting notes
The beautifully varietal nose is a showcase of pepper, cardamom and wisteria enhanced by hints of candied orange peels, coconut and cedar. Bursts of black fruits and cherries are supported by marmalade, cinnamon syrup and ripe tannins. A very textural wine with lingering flavours of caramelised oak and fresh crusty brioche.

Expert Reviews
Campbell Mattinson, WineFront.com.au
Vintage 2016 - Destemmed, fermented on skins for a couple of weeks, basket pressed and then matured in large oak vats. The pathway to, as it turned out, a superb shiraz release from Cape Mentelle. This is a beauty. Roasted meats, black pepper, some smoky reduction, a plushness and yet, overwhelmingly, a spicy discipline throughout. Completely unafraid of tannin, all peppery and nutty and firm. Black, polished, gorgeous cherries. Black, red and purple notes. Immaculately clean, bossed into shape by all that dry tannin, and yet exciting to drink, smell, revisit.
