“Proprietor Michel Reybrie and his winemaker Jean-Guillaume Prats, have fashioned a brilliant blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot. The dark purple-hued 2005 reveals a sumptuous bouquet of licorice, black currants, black olives, smoke and damp earth. Fleshy and supple-textured with good tannins as well as decent acidity, this seriously-endowed, complex effort can be consumed over the next 12 to 14 years".

Food pairings: Strong cheese, pasta, wild game and red meat 

The 2005 Kilikanoon Covenant Shiraz displays an inky, crimson red color with purple hues. The fragrant nose shows lifted aromas of plum and ripe black fruits which combine with mint, char and smoky oak characters. The full-bodied palate is richly layered and textured offering blackcurrant, chocolate and plum fruits integrated with French and American oak. The finish provides incredible length and flavor persistence.
