Chain of Ponds Sorrells Road Shiraz - Cabernet Sauvignon, Currency Creek, Australia 2009

Description

From Currency Creek in South Australia, this Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon blend reflects a warm climate tempered by coastal influence. The bouquet opens with ripe blackberry and dark plum layered alongside cassis, cedar, and a trace of dried mint. Subtle notes of mocha and baking spice add depth without overshadowing the fruit.

On the palate the wine is full bodied and generous, with plush dark fruit framed by structured yet approachable tannins. Shiraz contributes richness and spice, while Cabernet lends backbone and definition, creating a harmonious interplay between power and poise. Hints of cocoa, earth, and savory herb emerge as the wine unfolds.

The finish is smooth and persistent, marked by lingering black fruit and gentle spice. It stands as a confident and balanced expression of this classic Australian blend, offering warmth, structure, and satisfying depth.
