Winemaker Notes
The Henry’s Drive Magnus Shiraz has a complex aroma spectrum of white pepper, lavender and exotic spices, star anise and cardamom. The palate is packed with dark brooding fruits entwined with licorice, malt and cacao. A beautifully balanced wine supported by seamless oak and fine grained tannins.
Benefits from decanting at least one hour before serving and is best paired with beef or venison dishes

This wine is fleshy and seductive, with irresistible layers of smoke, mint and plum. It's full bodied, creamy textured and lush, staying supple through the long, charming finish. Drink now through 2025.
Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”
