Shanteh Wale - Halliday's Wine Companion

Blackberry Soothers, wine gums and concentrated Ribena/cassis. Blackberry spur, potting soil and volcanic ash. A thread of raspberry and thyme. The wine hits the centre of the palate with a purity of fruit and a sense of being very comfortable in its skin. Grape tannins are divine in this wine, it is mouth-watering in its pull from the back palate to the front. Christmastime cherries and grated nutmeg. Oak shadows the fruit in cedar and pine cones. This is a sturdy, affable drink. A real throwback to why cabernet is great in the region.
