Hidden Valley Hidden Secret 2007

The wine shows a deep red colour thanks to the Tannat and Mourvedre and the nose is invitingly spicy and savoury with leathery complexity, complemented by sweet and sour cherries, mulberries and a hint of marzipan. The Shiraz adds mocha and chocolate overtones. A well structured wine with fine tannins, rich red fruit and a lingering finish.

Venison steak, beef stroganoff and sticky toffee pudding.
