Dusty ruby color. Aromas and flavors of red cherry, citric acid tablet, and red flower pedals with a velvety, vibrant, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish that exhibits accents of red and black cherry, pepper, spearmint oil, and cherry chalk with coating, chalky, chewy tannins and light oak flavor. A solid red blend with well balanced herbal notes backed with dark fruit and chocolate; for all grilled red meat occasions.

Other important Australian reds besides Shiraz include Grenache, Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, along with small quantities of Tempranillo, Malbec and a few others.

Pinot Noir performs beautifully in Western Australia, while Grenache and Morvedre can be found in several areas, including New South Wales and Barossa. These two Rhone varieties are often blended together; recently a highly acclaimed and popular Austrlaian red is GSM, referring to three grapes: Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre. This blend is loosely based on the famed Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine from France's Rhone Valley.

Excellent versions of Cabernet Sauvignon are produced in several reigions including the Barossa Valley, Coonawarra and Langhorne Creek.
