I like WA Shiraz. But I am not going to break into song about it; I will leave that to Gary. I would however like to mention that this wine was made from a blend of Frankland River and Margaret River fruit, and though it was co-fermented with a dash of Viognier, it is not one for the apricotiste.

Savoury red fruits, cherries and plums and raspberries, with some black plumminess and dry spice, and if you look closely enough some apricot too. But don’t go hurting your eyes. The palate showed plums and dry spices, with raspberries, cherries, cinnamon, a bit of acid and a bit of cinnamon bark too. Dry and savoury, on the light side of medium bodied, and very drinkable.
