From Heathcote in Victoria, Heathcote Mail Coach Shiraz offers bold, structured Australian red character. Deep ruby in color, it presents blackberry and plum with hints of mocha and pepper. The palate shows concentrated fruit, integrated oak, and velvety tannins, finishing long and savory. A versatile match for grilled or roasted meats and hearty stews; decant to open up, and it can cellar for several years.
