The Sticks range is meant to be the “mid range” wines of Piggs Peake. Mid range here is still pretty significant……..

This is a real mouthful. Big ripe cherry fruit comes in from the McLaren Vale component, supported by coconutty American nut. A small addition of Shiraz from Chris Wall’s Kywarra vineyard keeps the wine under the threshold of pain and lends some elegance to the blend.

For a pretty big red, this one slips down fast.
