Tapanappa 2014 Cabernet Shiraz is an intense cool year wine with vibrant Cabernet cassis fruit & refined but determined tannins. It is a juicy wine with loads of primary varietal fruit. The colour is medium density, violet edged & very bright, the aroma is of cedar & spicy Cabernet & the dusty terroir nuances of the Whalebone Vineyard. The Shiraz plays a role in filling out the middle palate. The core of the wine is sweet but the finish is of gentle savoury tannin. 2014 Tapanappa Cabernet Shiraz is a keeper!
