Body: Full
Colour: Tawny with a red hue
Nose: Developed nose with full bodied fruit and plum jam characteristics
Palate: Dark chocolate, Blackberries, sweet balsamic reduction
Notes: A dry winter and warm to hot Dec/Jan meant that the vines were under a bit of heat stress. This encouraged some darker fruit characteristics. The wine has aged gracefully and still has a lot of character. with balance and fine tannins present. Drink now.

2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
Regular price $85.00 Save Liquid error (product-template line 131): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Our Recommendations:
Vineyard: Redwind - McLaren Vale
Age: 15 years
Body: Full
Colour: Red/brown brick
Nose: Aromatic, toffee, toasty oak
Palate: Dried thyme, char-grilled jalapeno, red berry and blackcurrant fruits
Notes: Very fresh for an older wine, savoury, soft tannins, great length once it opens up, needs some time to air. The cooler, wetter season in winter allowed characteristics of red fruits to develop and the warm to hot summer period helped in ripening the fruit well. A great wine from a cooler vintage.

2011 Block 9 Scarce Earth Shiraz
Regular price $85.00 Save Liquid error (product-template line 131): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Specifically from Block 9 on our Redwind vineyard. This wine was crafted for the McLaren Vale Scarce Earth project. An initiative to showcase the vineyard's terroir and its impact on the flavour of Shiraz, with minimal wine making influence. This wine was made as limited release and we have not made any others since.
Our Recommendations:
From the winemaker:
Vineyard: Block 9 Redwind - McLaren Vale
Age: 10 years
Body: Medium - Full
Colour: Ruby
Nose: Subtle with fresh cranberry
Palate: Savory spice with red fruit characteristics and soft tannin
Notes: Single site wine with minimal new oak influence. Instead we used 4 year old French oak barrels. Bottled separately to highlight the impact of site on the flavour of McLaren Vale Shiraz. A cooler, wetter vintage along with minimal wine making influences gave us red fruit flavours and a lighter than usual Shiraz. Refined and elegant. Drinking well now.
