Passing Clouds Graeme Blend Shiraz Cabernet is a structured red that combines Shiraz’s spice with Cabernet Sauvignon’s backbone.
- Aromas show dark fruit (blackberry, cassis) with pepper, cedar, and subtle vanilla from oak.
- On the palate, expect ripe black fruit, cocoa/coffee notes, and integrated oak, backed by firm tannins and a long, spicy finish. A good match for grilled meats, heartier pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.
