“Michael “Jacko” James worked in our cellars until he succumbed to a long battle with leukemia at the age of 26. His legendary character and courage left a lasting impression on everyone. Our tribute to him is this full bodied Shiraz which displays rich peppery fruit over a Firm underlying structure with great length.” – Geoff Merrill

Aroma: Fresh herbs, perfume and gamey notes. Black pepper, red berries and black cherry notes lift with time in the glass.

Palate: The palate begins with round, fruity and savoury characters, then moves towards a zesty and vibrant wild raspberry and cranberry finish. A very complex wine with cool season characters that will grow and develop into a stunning mature Shiraz.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with slow cooked beef cheeks, roast lamb or kangaroo steak. Finish with some Haigh's dark chocolate or a nice hard cheese.
