Thorn Clarke Shotfire Cuvee 2006

62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec, 10.5% Petit Verdot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5.5% Merlot
The wine is a deep inky purple color. There are lifted dark fruits, cedary oak and some perfume from the Petit Verdot on the nose. The palate is rich, ripe and full bodied. The wine is bursting with flavors of blackcurrant, plums and Christmas pudding. The supporting oak has dark chocolate and vanilla essence. The tannins are chalky but complement the wine to give it great mouth feel and length of fruit and oak flavors.
There is an awesome length to this wine with lingering berry fruit and spicy oak. Australian wine lovers became very familiar with the wine last year as sales surged following the Adelaide Wine Show win. People will be delighted with the lineage we are creating with Shotfire in that the 2005 has once again been shown to be one of the finest wines in the country.

This is a wine with some very strong flavors and I like it for this reason. The only time I drink it is when I want to entertain some special guests for dinner. I like the way everyone smiles when the wine leaves a long lasting finish in their mouths.
