Tapanappa Whalebone Vineyard Cabernet Shiraz 2016 woods-crampton combining black and red currant

combining black and red currant with roses

although the wine will not improve with age

spicy and juicy shiraz such as this is fantastic with a rich and warming stew

seamlessly poised

and a lick of good French oak add complexity to the wine

Tapanappa Whalebone Vineyard Cabernet Shiraz 2016 woods-crampton combining black and red currantThe colour is deep and purple edged, the aroma is an amalgam of black currant Cabernet, spicy anise Shiraz and the earthy, smokey terroir character of the Whalebone Vineyard. The core of the wine is sweet but the finish is of gentle savoury tannin. This wine is a pure expression of the unique Whalebone Vineyard terroir.
