Tasting notes
Deep ruby. Displays expressive aromas of dark berry preserves, succulent flowers, cured tobacco, cola and baking spices. Broad, alluringly sweet and supple in the mouth, offering intense blackcurrant, cherry-cola, fruitcake and bitter chocolate flavors and a candied violet note. Smooth power and energy, this wine betrays no rough edges. Finishes subtly tannic and very long, with resonating floral and mineral notes.

Dan's 2016 The Standish Shiraz comes from a vineyard in the Greenock subregion. It's inky in color, loaded with plum, blueberry and raspberry fruit. Full-bodied, creamy-textured and rich, it's intense, concentrated and long beyond belief, picking up hints of licorice along the way. Nearly embryonic, it will need at least a couple of years to show more than the primary fruit.
