The 2007 Cabernet/Shiraz is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Shiraz.  Our Llano Estacado Cabernet Shiraz was inspired by fine wines of similar blend proportions being produced in Australia.   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 states; Texas (Hudspeth County) and California (Paso Robles) .

Llano Cabernet Shiraz is a youthful,  richly textured wine with lots of forward berry and ripe cherry fruit.  This wine will continue to improve with bottle age through 2010.  Serve Cabernet Shiraz at cool room temperature (60° F) with your favorite Texas beef, wild game or pasta.   Perfect with barbeque.  Enjoy!
