Wine Flavor Profile
The Full Fifteen is a full-bodied red wine with billowing aromas of spicy blackberry, vanilla oak and chocolate. The velvety palate offers mouthfilling black cherry, plum and cassis flavors, plus a long, concentrated finish.Wine Food Pairings

Famous for his personality-packed reds, Andrew McPherson is a favorite of top critic James Halliday (Australia’s answer to Robert Parker), who rates his estate an impressive four stars and writes that the quality of his wines “is unfailingly good.”
Andrew's head winemaker, Jo Nash, crafts The Full Fifteen and absolutely knocks it out of the park. As a mother of four and married to another winemaker, she's a very busy woman, but fits it all in with a big smile and has many top awards to her name.
This release marries ripe Cabernet, Merlot and more from sun-drenched South Australian vineyards (the perfect foundation for a FULL 15% alcohol). The result is so rich that Andrew has described it as being like “like two bottles crammed into one.”
Look forward to an inky-purple color, with billowing aromas of blackberry and vanilla oak. A velvety texture frames the mouthfilling flavors of black cherry, plum and cassis—and makes this an ideal choice for hearty meals. Think BBQ, meaty pastas, braised red meats and more.
BIG on flavor, small on volume. Hurry for a taste!
