The sum is greater than the parts here. Stunning interaction of the two grapes. The shiraz fills and lightens the cabernet just perfectly. Abundant red and dark berries plums and chocolate. Super fine tannins too. This is blended to perfection. A brilliant wine. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The blend of the 2016 The Peake Cabernet Shiraz is 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Shiraz aged in 60% to 70% new French oak. It's a barrel selection and blend that is solid and rich with grainy tannins at this youthful stage. Cassis cherry vanilla and cedar all come together synergistically to yield a rich chewy red that should age well for more than a decade.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Precise firm and focused featuring a rich milk chocolate dimension that mingles with concentrated raspberry puree and blueberry flavors showing dashes of dried rosemary and black tea. The finish is spectacular revealing accents of sandalwood and spice. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Drink now through 2034.
