Cranswick South Eastern Australia Lakefield Shiraz Cabernet 2011 88 Points



If you are looking for a juicy red wine filled with personality and upfront, ripe dark plums, mulberries and dark cherries, with a touch of smoky dark chocolate look no further, at R 60/bottle from Checkers nationwide, this Australian blend of 90%Shiraz and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon will do the job, very well.

Ruby red with slight garnet rim.
Clean, ripe dark red fruits medley, good purity of fruit, spicy oak.

Dry with dash residual sugar well offset by moderate acidity, juicy with full and round texture, savory, low tannins, plush, medium plus bodied with moderate alcohol of 13% abv, table friendly, persistent length.

Will be perfect with a mixed grill platter of Checkers Steakhouse Classic
