Western ranges shiraz co-fermented with a dab of viognier, which often gives an insane colour in the glass. Case and point here with its glass-staining purple-crimson hue. Super-pure macerated plum and black fruits with underlying hints of dark spice, earth, purple flowers, dark chocolate bullets and graphite. Sports a very stony, savoury disposition with tightly packed tannin grunt and a super-long finish featuring concentrated plum, blackberry, spice and earth.
