Product details
The winemaking accents characteristics of the vineyard from vine to bottle, but we also hold close to the wine maker's hearts the belief that wine is to be enjoyed and therefore have worked hard to create an environment conducive to that goal.

Tasting notes
Rich fruit combines with an array of spices and dark chocolate on this dense nose. Spices and chocolate return in the back to provide the length that competes with the best vintages of this wine.

Vintage 2013 - Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2013 Shiraz The Beast has an earthy/gamey nose with dried mulberries and preserved plums at the core, morphing into spice box, sandalwood and peppery notes. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and a full-on "beast," as the name suggests, it is actually very delicious and has real depth with many layers coming through on the impressively long finish. Drink 2017-2030

Vintage 2014 - The road to intensity is littered with blackberries. This is where wine meets bitumen meets fruit meets oak. It's colossal in its breadth, depth and reach. It's like some prehistoric creature; it will take an awful lot for its magnificence to ever be dimmed; it will live on for as long as you want it to.
