Brilliant ruby. Expressive aromas of candied red and dark berries, cola and lavender. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering appealingly sweet raspberry, cherry and spicecake flavors and a hint of cola. Finishes smooth and broad, with discreet tannins and strong, spice-driven persistence.

Torbreck's full-bodied 2016 The Steading is a sturdy Barossa blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro. Hints of smoke and grilled meat bring savory complexity to the cherry and raspberry fruit. Firm tannins suggest cellaring a year or two, but they also serve to define the fruit, imparting shape and length to the palate.
