The 2005 Cabernet/Shiraz is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Shiraz.  Fine wines of similar blend proportions being produced in Australia inspire our Llano Cabernet Shiraz. Australian winemakers have led the way in developing new and interesting wines by blending varieties not traditionally combined in a blend.  The   Llano Cabernet-Shiraz is a blend of two varieties from two premium grape growing regions in Texas;  Far West Texas (Hudspeth County) and the Texas Hill Country (Rising Star Texas).

Llano Cabernet Shiraz is a youthful,  richly textured wine with lots of forward berry and ripe cherry fruit.  If stored properly, this wine will continue to improve with bottle age over the next two years.Serve Cabernet Shiraz at cool room temperature (62 F) with your favorite Texas beef, wild game or pasta.  We believe wine is a healthy complement to any meal.  Enjoy!
