2014 Max's Shiraz Cabernet

70% Shiraz, 30% Cabernet from Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale, Upper Adelaide, Barossa Valley.

12 months in French oak (10% new), with the balance in seasoned French and American oak hogsheads.

Deep dark crimson. The palate exhibits firm tannins with a supportive oak texture; rich mid-palate and a varietal of fruit flavours. An amalgam of berried fruits and mixed spices.
