Scarborough Shiraz is a bold, full-bodied red with deep color and concentrated dark fruit. Aromas of blackberry and plum mingle with spice and subtle chocolate from integrated oak. On the palate, ripe, dense fruit meets sturdy tannins and a long, peppery finish. A versatile match for hearty dishes and casual gatherings; best enjoyed slightly below room temperature.
