Cassegrain Reserve Shiraz 2015
Revealing some earthy, leathery development, this medium to full-bodied red delivers a deep, spicy presence of dark berries and plums backed by gentle cedary oak and framed by fine, dusty tannins. ThereĆs plumpness and softness in mid-palate, but it settles down and extends long, fine and almost savoury towards a lingering licorice-like finish.

Winery
Cassegrain
Cassegrain has steadily expanded from its original base around Port Macquarie to become an active participant in a number of cooler New South Wales regions, from which it regularly changes the fruit sources of some of its wines, including those featured here. There's a complex and sophisticated, savoury stamp about these wines that stands them apart from the Australian mainstream. Cassegrain's reds tend to lack genuine conviction and ripeness.
