Underlying hints of ripe apples, blackberries and myrtle accompany delicate licorice and spice notes in this dry, fairly soft wine with well-integrated tannins and savory character.

BOARDING PASS Shiraz
From Southern Australia, aged in 100% American and French Shiraz oak, this lively, dense ruby red hints of black cherry, cinnamon and mocha with a juicy palate and finishes with fruited tannin warmth.
