Tasting notes
The 2015 The Peake Cabernet Shiraz hails from the excellent 2015 vintage. It is brighter and more intense than the 2014 vintage tasted alongside. The cepage here reflects that of the 2014 vintage: 56% Cabernet and the balance Shiraz. This has a higher register of spice and denser base of fruit and tannin, yet it feels eminently perfumed and long. This is an excellent wine here, looking sensational at the end of its 10th year from harvest. This vintage, as with the 2014 vintage, was also made alongside Charlie Seppelt. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% Shiraz, the 2015 The Peake Cabernet Shiraz has a deep garnet-purple color and a profound nose of baked cherries, blackberry coulis and blueberry compote with hints of cedar, violets, dark chocolate and a waft of wild thyme. Full-bodied, rich and opulent, it has a seductively complex and plushly textured palate, with tons of black fruit and spice layers, finishing long and perfumed. Aug 2017, www.robertparker.com
