Skuttlebutt 2009 Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon (Margaret River)

Country: Australia /
Variety: Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon Western Australia
Winery: Skuttlebutt / Margaret River

Skuttlebutt is a second tier in Stella Bella’s range that can represent excellent value. This blend shows some of Cabernet’s pungent leafiness, but also plenty of Shiraz’s fruity volume to balance things out. At four years of age, the tannins are nicely supple and silky, with the wine’s various components in elegant harmony. It’s ready to drink now.
