This 2019 Friends Of Friends Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon is a seductive, full-bodied red from Wrattonbully and Coonawarra that opens with mint, melted dark chocolate, sweet blackcurrant, and hints of coconut and Nutella.
The palate confirms the rich nose while adding a serious swagger of tannins, creating a concentrated, warm, and profound experience with layers of ripe plum, mulberry, and licorice. Its inky depth and savoury flinty minerality make it comparable to a high-end Coonawarra Cabernet, offering serious quality without the intimidation of ultra-premium labels.
Serve this wine at cellar temperature (16–18°C) and decant for 30–60 minutes to soften the tannins before pairing it with grilled steaks, slow-cooked lamb, or aged cheeses.
