2014 Gibson “The Smithy” Shiraz Cabernet

A blend of 52% Barossa Shiraz and 48% McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon. Midnight black dark red core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Attractively scented aromas of blackberries and liquorice meld into some ripe blackcurrant with vanillin cedar, faint tobacco and spice notes ensuing. Plushly textured with good weight and richness yet a sense of elegance the palate features juicy ripe blackberry and liquorice flavours which combine with some cassis over vanillin cedar, a faint hint of tobacco and spice. Velvety tannins with a long finish of ripe blackberry, liquorice and blackcurrant fruit, vanilln cedar and spice.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc 14.5%
