Wills Domain 'Eightfold' Shiraz Margaret River 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon

Wills Domain 'Eightfold' Shiraz Margaret River 2020 Cabernet SauvignonCOLOUR Deep brick red cherry. NOSE Bristling aromas of eastern spices, black cherries and cocoa descend into a darker foundation of freshly cracked pepper and plums. PALATE A vibrant entry of crunchy acidity and fine powdered tannin leads to an ensemble of red fruits dotted with hints of freshly ground coffee, rosewater and allspice. A persistent finish of yet more primal red fruits and citrus blossom. Drink now or be rewarded with cellaring.
