Plenty of black fruits and spice on the nose. Lots of blackberries and licorice, medium-bodied, with a very soft feel to it. Very pleasant and smooth. It won't overwhelm the food your having like many Shiraz will.

Go Cuckoo for Cookoothama!
The Nugan Family winery is dedicated to producing premium estate grown wines from the family's vineyards across Australia. Their Cookoothama label is made from estate grown fruit from the family's vineyards in the King Valley and Darlington Point.
Cookoothama "cooka-a-tharma" is the name of the family's vineyard at Darlington Point on the Murrumbidgee River and is the aboriginal word meaning 'fertile land'. The two hands on the label represent the people who have lived and cultivated the land spread along the banks of the Murrumbidgee River transforming it into the prosperous land it is today.
Winemaker's Notes
Deep crimson with a youthful purple hue. Complex aromas of ripe berry and spice with a hint of toasty oak. A full-bodied wine displaying elegant tannins and powerful fruit concentration with a well-structured palate of dark cherry and blackberry melded with earthy overtones and well-integrated oak. |
