Ah shiraz,well mate i dont think it can get any where near the complexity of that true royal red cab sav...all a matter of preferences mate,i have tried heaps (and some of those good ones from Heathcote) but i havent found one that "rocks" me mate.

You know cabernet franc x sauvignion blanc is to me the greatest grape hybrid ever invented thus becoming cab sav,bet a lot of you wine buff`s didnt know that about the hybrid eh?
Get a bit of botrytis into those semillon`s mate and i will be over for some for sure.
