Magenta in colour, perfumed nose and a medium bodied vibrant palate with a perfect balance of power from the dark fruited Shiraz, and brightness from the red fruited Grenache.

Entry: Velvety and plush and fragrant rich blackberrycherry fruits. Some tangy cedar and lingering cigar box characters. Middle Palate: Juicy round black cherry fruits, tempered with the soft idiosyncratic "milk chocolate" McLaren Vale Shiraz sweetness and roundness. After Palate: Lashings of trademark milk chocolate with blackberries and dark-fleshed plums and spice with velvety, smooth tannins. Finish: Juicy blackberry and mocha notes intertwined with signature lush McLaren Vale tannins. It's like taking a big mouthful of Black Forest cake.

2015 Clarendon Hills Domaine Clarendon Grenache, Deep dark red colour with black tinged edges and a dark red hue. Intense dark to black raspberry aromas intermingle with dark plum and liquorice followed by vanillin confectionary and spice. Rich, voluptuous in texture and exceptionally long in the mouth, this is one powerful Grenache. Succulent black raspberry flavours dominate over liquorice and ripe black cherries. There’s an echo of vanillin confectionary on the finish and loads of spice. Bright acidity with firm yet balanced tannins providing a robust framework. Very long conclusion of black raspberries, liquorice, vanillin confectionary and spicy pepper.

Paxton NOW Shiraz is a vibrant purple coloured wine with red hues. Its bouquet is an explosion of aromas coming from mulberries, strawberries, raspberries and plums, with hints of sandalwood and lavender. The palate of this medium-bodied, drink "NOW" style of wine showcases bright and fresh red berry fruits followed by silky tannins and a velvety finish. This food-friendly red is a great match to red meat dishes and sharp cheeses.

Penny's Hill Cracking Black Shiraz continues to be what all McLaren Vale Shiraz should be. Deliciously intense, with all its components looking their best and beautifully synchronised. There's lengthy concentrated blackberry fruit, liquorice and pepper. Superb!

AROMA: Dark cherries, plum, spice, perfume, flowers and dark chocolate. TASTE: A beautifully balanced shiraz, it is a complex wine with wonderfulred and dark fruit flavours combining with spice, dark chocolate and a hintof coffee. The finish is long and smooth. CELLARING: Will reward cellaring for 6-8 years or more. VINTAGE The fruit was harvested and handled separately from each vineyard. Aftergoing through a 10 day fermentation on skins, it was transferred to acombination of new, 2nd and 3rd use French oak barrels, of which 15%were new. It spent 15 months in barrel prior to blending. A warm and dry summer produced small berries with rich andconcentrated flavours. The blending of the three sub regions of Clarendon,Blewitt Springs and Seaview allowed us to maintain a wine of purity andvibrancy. AROMA: Dark cherries, plum, spice, perfume, flowers and dark chocolate.
