"Steady winter rainfall and multiple flood events gave us a good storage of moisture and healthy vines leading into the growing season for this 2018 Heartland Spice Trader Cabernet Sauvignon / Shiraz. Higher than average summer temperatures have offered up robust fruit characters that Shiraz especially loves to present. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz are fermented separately with specific parcels included for their ability to offer greater complexity and character. Time in barrel permits a softening of the wine structure. It also offers a complex expression of the fruit and helps the exotic notes of spice to be discovered. The colour evokes rich crimson cloaks and rubies with an opaque core of intense fruit. Old fashioned licorice straps and ripe raspberries ride shotgun while blackberry fruit drives the wagon across the plain. The palate is all about the fruit with enough structure to see you home. The length of finish surprises while it delights. It stands and delivers. Honestly� �Ben Glaetzer
