The Hills fruit brings lifted raspberry, cola and pomegranate, with a bright balanced acidity on the palate, while the Creek fruit infuses a generous earthiness with ripe plum and blackcurrants and the quotidian soft, long tannins.
Range Notes
In chess, El Desperado is a doomed pawn that seems determined to give itself up to bring about a stalemate when captured, a pawn that is as good as dead and so sets out to do as much damage as possible.

Blending was once seen by some as the poorer by-product of winemaking, but is now used to create wines which are greater than the sum of all parts. The blend of regions is something hidden by the corporate world, the lesser known regions often shunned from the label entirely. Here I have blended Shiraz from 2 regions whom border each other, but have very distinct regional attributes. Its always the most rewarding part of blending, when the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
