Cape Mentelle have pushed the envelope with this intense Margaret River Shiraz and it's hard to see why with Cape Mentelle's 100% Shiraz is demonstrating a vibrant core of blueberry, mulberry and hints of raspberry. It is well balanced with cocoa and savoury oak. The palate yet, is fine, elegant and focused, finishing with chalky and structural tannins. Thanks to some crafty work by a handful of producers, rich, peppery black fruit and a confident use of vanillin oak makes this wine one you will love. It's a good candidate for 10+ years cellaring.
