Rockford Rod & Spur 2018

Rockford Rod & Spur 2018 is a Barossa Valley red blend that pairs Cabernet Sauvignon structure with Shiraz generosity. Deep ruby in color, it offers a dense core of black fruit—blackberry, blackcurrant, and plum—with notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with integrated oak and firm, refined tannins leading to a long, persistent finish. A versatile companion for grilled meats, rich stews, and aged cheeses.
