The 2015 The Peake Cabernet Shiraz hails from the excellent 2015 vintage. It is brighter and more intense than the 2014 vintage tasted alongside. The cepage here reflects that of the 2014 vintage: 56% Cabernet and the balance Shiraz. This has a higher register of spice and denser base of fruit and tannin, yet it feels eminently perfumed and long. This is an excellent wine here, looking sensational at the end of its 10th year from harvest. This vintage, as with the 2014 vintage, was also made alongside Charlie Seppelt. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Take the best parcels of cabernet sauvignon from Trueman, same for Brookes Road shiraz, a 56/44% blend respectively, and another selection at the final assemblage to ensure it's the best of the best. Yep that works. It's morphed into a harmonious entity. Complex, detailed on every level with powdery tannins, cassis, dark plums, cured meats and spice, very refreshing, full-bodied, deep and superbly balanced.
