Excelsior Paddock Shiraz

Deep burgundy in color with inviting aromas of vanilla and mocha. The palate rewards with lingering flavors of liquorice and ripe black cherries, supported by soft tannins and a long finish. Aged for 8 months in a combination of French and American oak. Pair with red meat (Intense, Black Cherry, Vanilla, Medium-bodied) Shiraz pairs nicely with barbecued foods, grilled foods, dark meats, strong game, hearty ripe cheeses and lamb - hearty foods. It also goes well with Indian, Mexican, and other spicy foods.
