Shot In The Dark Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2022 (Australia)

Description

Blackberry, Coffee, Oak

Intense brick red with purple hues. Ripe and round blackberries conspire with flavours of plum and cinnamon spice. Notes of brooding red berries and fresh brewed coffee. Impressive length and structure with seductively soft and lingering finish. 

Life has its ups and downs. It can be both brutal and beautiful. You can hole yourself away to avoid life’s pain, but then the beauty seldom finds it’s way in. It’s only when you attempt to go where you cannot go, or do what you cannot do, that you can achieve what you are truly capable of dong. Sure, you might tumble. You might fall, so what? Take a chance. Go way out on the Limb. Dare to try-even if it’s just a shot in the dark.

The different varieties were picked at between 13.0 to 13.5 Baume to produce the fruit flavours that are required to make this great classic Australia blend. The grapes were fermented in a mixture of vessels to produce as much colour and flavour as possible. A portion of each of the different wines underwent oak during fermentation and once dry, the remaining went to oak until the right balance was achieved. Careful tasting and blending help produce this wine style and great value for money.

Food Pairing: Try with T-bone steak or any meat off the BBQ. This wine has the flavour, structure and balance to be enjoyed now or offers added satisfaction from further cellaring.
