2005 Shotfire Barossa Cuvee

 

 

This cuvee or blend is sourced from different parcels on the Thorn-Clarke estate in the Barossa Valley of Australia. . A combination of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12%s 14-16 m Malbec, 10.5% Petit Verdot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5.5% Merlot. 

 

A nose of ripe plum and deep purple in color it is heavy in the glass and full on the palate.  A combination of cherry, blackberry plum and Raisin flavors with hints of chocolate and oak from its 14-16 months in American and French oak. It is broad across the tongue with a good length and a smooth finish. I rate it an 85.
