Tasting notes
Inky violet color. Powerful aromas of blackberry, cherry-cola, violet and woodsmoke are complemented by a hint of vanilla that builds with air. Sweet, seamless and expansive on the palate, offering sappy cassis, blackberry, cherry preserve and licorice flavors that are supported by a core juicy acidity. Deepens and becomes spicier on the clinging finish, which features well-knit tannins and repeating florality.

I loved the 2018 Shiraz Ambervale. This is classic Shiraz done with elegance and purity as well as richness. Lots of ripe black berry fruits, chocolate, mint, damp earth, and violet notes define the bouquet, and it's full-bodied and brilliantly balanced, with ripe tannins and notable freshness. It's a gem of a wine to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years.
