Juniper Crossing Original Red

Juniper Crossing Original Red 2023 is a vibrant Margaret River blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, showing lifted aromas of cassis, mulberry and cedar with hints of sweet spice. The palate is rich yet elegant, layered with plum, blackberry and subtle earthy notes, finishing with fine tannins and a long, smooth texture. A beautifully structured red with depth and balance, perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying now, with excellent cellaring potential through to 2034
