Often known as the "baby Grange", it’s a yummy vintage and wine that exudes all the panache and style of great Cabernet and Shiraz most typical of the 389 style with mocha notes, great concentration. The combination are a delightful blend, working the classic blend of cabernet and shiraz with full bodied power and structure illuminating the Shiraz plush fruit with backbone and force majeure of Cabernet ending in a lip smacking synergy. The tannins last and lie wonderfully on the palate and really will develop well with time in the cellar.

A magnificent blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz from the very best regions and vineyards available to Peter Gago and his team, the robust nature of the Cabernet grape give structure and body to the wine while the opulent Shiraz fruit provides suppleness and intensity.
