Deep garnet with a hint of purple, the 2012 V & A Lane Select Vineyard Cabernet Shiraz is beautifully scented of blackberry coulis and crème de cassis with suggestions of baking spices, lavender, cloves and vanilla. Medium bodied and elegantly fruited on the palate, the soft, silky tannins and refreshing acidity nicely support the intense flavors, finishing with excellent persistence.
