2021 Semper Fidelis
Shiraz Cabernet
Bouquet: A soft cocoa/mocha character with blackberries, cassis, and dark fruits. Compote of berries, with cedar and nutmeg. A touch of mint and eucalyptus adds complexity and regional typicality. 

Palate: Medium-bodied and elegant. Shiraz fruits upfront, blackberries, red currant, and plums with earthy spices. Ample, yet fine, elegant Cabernet tannins provide good structure and length and imply longevity. Elegant and approachable in its youth, this wine will continue to develop over time. It is with time that the true character of these old vines will reveal their true beauty.
