This wine, offered by House of Smith as K Vintners 'Creator' Cab/Syrah, is a red blend that brings together the characteristics of cab and syrah. On the nose it shows ripe dark fruit, black cherry and plum, accompanied by notes of black pepper, subtle herbs and a light toasty spice. On the palate it is medium-full, with supported but polished tannins, balanced acidity and a persistent finish recalling fruit and a hint of cocoa.

It pairs well with grilled red meats, braises, lighter game and aged cheeses; it can stand up to flavorful dishes without overpowering them. Serve at around 16–18°C and open a few minutes before drinking to allow the wine to breathe. A brief decanting can enhance the aromas. Ideal for those seeking a red with a decided personality that is not overly opulent, to drink in the coming years or with structured culinary pairings.
