First bottled in 1974 and quietly earning cult status, it was revived in 2000 and refocused in 2004 with a new identity: 100% Eden Valley fruit. The 2018 vintage upholds the blend’s hallmark balance and complexity, showcasing the cool-climate finesse of Cabernet Sauvignon (68%) and the depth and spice of Shiraz (32%).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"946\"\u003eCabernet from the Miles vineyard in Craneford brings cassis, florals and graphite structure. Shiraz from the Short’s Block near Angaston adds plush red fruits and earthy warmth. It’s a wine that builds in layers—licorice, raspberry jube, roasting meat and herbs—underpinned by precise acidity and fine tannins. Medium to full-bodied, this is no bruiser, but a poised, cellar-worthy red that delivers clarity and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"1044\"\u003eBest decanted now for roast lamb or aged cheddar, or cellar confidently over the next 15+ years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1046\" data-end=\"1188\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1046\" data-end=\"1063\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1063\" data-end=\"1066\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1074\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1077\"\u003e – Herbaceous and spiced\u003cbr data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1103\"\u003e Currants, florals, raspberry jube and cedar with hints of earth and roasting meats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1190\" data-end=\"1298\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1190\" data-end=\"1200\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1203\"\u003e – Elegant density\u003cbr data-start=\"1220\" data-end=\"1223\"\u003e Black fruits and licorice meet spice, graphite and a whisper of bay leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1300\" data-end=\"1424\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1300\" data-end=\"1310\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1310\" data-end=\"1313\"\u003e – Polished and persistent\u003cbr data-start=\"1338\" data-end=\"1341\"\u003e Fine tannins and balanced acidity draw the wine out with savoury detail and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1426\" data-end=\"1582\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1426\" data-end=\"1449\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1449\" data-end=\"1452\"\u003e \u003cem data-start=\"1452\" data-end=\"1521\"\u003ePerfectly poised… all latent power and opulent fruit.
