Rockford Rod & Spur 2019

Rockford Rod & Spur 2019 is a Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon–Shiraz blend built on dense dark fruit with integrated oak and a solid structure. It offers immediate charm plus regional-savvy depth, making it a versatile choice for grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses. Best enjoyed now with some cellar potential for short-term aging. Tasting Notes - Appearance: Deep ruby with clear viscosity. - Aroma: Concentrated blackberry and blackcurrant, plum, with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, vanilla, and a hint of pepper. - Palate: Full-bodied, with firm yet approachable tannins; flavors echo the nose—dark fruit, cocoa, and toasted spice; balanced acidity. - Finish: Long, savory finish with lingering spice and coffee tones; oak well integrated.
