Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon
2023 Shiraz / Cabernet Sauvignon
The Wild… West
Hilliard Heritage Collection ~ Andrew (Oupa) found the inspiration for this exquisite blend thru the "spirit" of his first grandson, West. The traditional love of the great woodlands of Northern Wisconsin has been the foundation for establishing father & son bonds that are as strong as a wild oak & explorative as the wild west!

This lively, fruit driven, 55/45 blend offers subtle flavours of white pepper and spices complimented by juicy ripe plums, dark berries, stewed fruit and hints of sweet cassis followed by gentle lingering smokiness. This soft, smooth and well structured wine with its lovely balanced acid and ripe, integrated tannins will drink divinely now and will continue to impress for another 5 years if cellared correctly..
