First Drop ‘The Red One’ 2009
Rich, lush and seductive, this wine is seriously tempting! A vibrant violet-red color, this wine has the red berry fruits of Shiraz highlighted by the varietal blackcurrant and eucalyptus lift of the Cabernet Sauvignon. On the palate, the fleshy, rich fruit of the Shiraz is married beautifully with the majestic structure of the Cabernet Sauvignon, and spiced with a splash of nervy Barbera.
