From the same team (growers Kim and Mark Longbottom and winemaker Kim Johnston) that runs Henry’s Drive, this wine is made in a similar style. Produced from 6- to 12-year-old vines, it is a blend of 70% Shiraz and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 100% American oak, of which 80% is new. It is an in-your-face, exuberant, flamboyant Aussie red boasting loads of espresso roast, toasty oak, blackberries, cassis, and licorice. Full-bodied, opulent, and voluptuous, with oodles of glycerin and depth.
Medium to full-bodied; blackberry, earth and dark chocolate fruit on a solid structure of tannins and oak. Should be long-lived.

- Producer

Producing wines in the Padthaway region of South Australia's Fleurieu zone, Henry's Drive takes full advantage of the natural gifts provided by the close proximity of the Southern Ocean. Elegantly built wines but with plenty of Australian character is what one gets with these bottles. They age nicely but are very forward and balanced in their youth.
