Blend: 
60% Shiraz, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cinsaut, 5% Grenache, 5% Viognier, 5% Mourvèdre
 
The 2017 Big Easy Red Blend is arguably the most serious and riveting vintage yet. The dry vintage was conducive to producing a superbly-concentrated, beguiling wine that dazzles the senses. Complexity is revealed with elegantly ripe black berry, liquorice, fine Chinese spice and smoked herbs. A majority of Shiraz cloaks the palate with fruit-laden tannins, covered in melted milk chocolate and Morello cherries. It shows solid grip, suggesting up to a decade of maturation.
 
Winemaker Notes
Deep red. This brooding nose leads to aromas of elegantly ripe black berry, liquorice, fine Chinese spice and smoked herbs. The palate is lined with chocolate, spice and Morello cherries. A peppery nuance adds further character, all framed by a fine structure and juicy core.
