Heartland Spice Trader Langhorne Creek Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon

Spice Trader is a fantastic value Langhorne Creek blend that captures the black plum, black cherry and savoury spice of shiraz and matches it evenly with the blackcurrant, leaf and firm, fine tannin structure of cabernet. There are notes of Langhorne Creek eucalypt tucked into its folds, well framed in dark chocolate oak. Stonking quaffer and one of the best value reds going this year. A worthy house wine to stock up in bulk and drink for the next five years. $15 at Cracka and Just Wines.
