"The wine that really struck the group was the Cellar Door-only Veritas Shiraz Malbec. This deep dark drop has only eight percent Malbec added to the Shiraz, but it gives the juicy raspberry and pepper of the dominant grape a balance of liquorice, leather, soy sauce, burnt chop and road tar. This is a terrific wine with lots of soft and bitter tannin offset by the juicy raspberry and luscious ripeness of the fruit. Perfect with a burnt chop, or anything else off the barbeque."

Still full-bodied with mellow tastes of spice and dark fruit, very pleasant.
