Durbanville Hills - Bastion 2004

Ruby red with slightly amber rim. This Australian style blend (Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz) has a lot of dark fruit and plum on the nose, slight oaking. The fruitiness is continued on the tongue, with ripe plum lingering till the end. More acidic than tannic, all in all well balanced but light.

Tasted January 2010
