Tasting notes
Gorgeous nose of hazelnuts, black cherries, blackberries, mocha and bay leaves. Hints of spearmint. Seamlessly integrated, with a concentrated and delicious core of dark fruit, herbs and seductive spice. Muscular, fleshy tannins. Showing beautiful cabernet character with a long life ahead. 57% cabernet sauvignon and 43% shiraz. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Shiraz, the deep garnet/purple 2013 The Peake Cabernet Shiraz has pronounced cassis, mulberry and plum aromas with cedar, menthol, pencil lead and bay leaf with crushed stone hints. Medium to full-bodied and intense, there is a full-on wall of fruit in the mouth supported by a solid backbone of grainy tannins and enough acid freshness on the long finish.
