Medium-full bodied with a good structure of medium-high acid and medium level chewy tannins, it gives a good amount of expressive fruit and a long finish. Drink this one now to 2018. The first vintage of the good value Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet was 1976. Back then it was labeled as “Claret” in reference to the style rather than the grapes. In September 2011, Peter Gago put together a vertical of the Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet, going back to the very first vintage. Importer: Treasury Wine Estates, Napa, CA; tel.
