A deep ruby red. Welcomes that entices the eye and the palate. The core of classic Cabernet blackcurrant fruit Focused is offset by note of cedar with hints of cardamom, tobacco and licorice spice. The uniquely inviting texture of Langhorne Creek Cabernet is accented by fine-grained tannins. A long, savory finish rounds off this beautifully balanced red.

The intense colour preempts a wine of dense, layered black fruit. The aromas of anise and cracked pepper are enveloped in classic blackberry. An echo of mint is brought to the palate by the addition of a small amount of Limestone Coast fruit. The glass coating texture belies a wine of restraint and balance. The fruit weight is a perfect counterpoint to the structure imparted by oak and skin contact.
The deep color gives a clue to the concentration of aromas and flavors to follow. Dark cherry and blackberry fruit dominate the nose with undercurrents of black licorice and pepper. The palate brings to mind a berry compote enriched by elusive hints of spice. Director's Cut Shiraz is famous for its poise and balance and this vintage is no exception. It is reminiscent of the classic 2004 vintage, but may be the best Director's Cut to date.
