Grape: Shiraz Viognier

Looks: Very dark purple in colour. Full bodied, with extreme colour.

Smells: Violets and pepper - and a ripe hint of cherry.

Feels: Full bodied

Tastes: This is such a solid performer. Mouthful of cherry and plum fruit, but not overripe - with black and white pepper and an overt juicy feel to it from the Viognier. This one has a solid dollop of violets to it - maybe slightly too much. But I can't complain, because many others wont!
