Notes:
An array of different berry aromas surge from the glass - blackberry, blueberry and boysenberry - with trademark licorice and bitter dark chocolate promising to balance the sweet fruit.
The fruit dances across the palate with layers of cinnamon and nutmeg spice over creamy, mocha oak. Tannins are supple and velvety and the whole experience is underscored by a mineral earthiness. An excellent example of how graceful
McLaren Vale Shiraz can be in a cooler year.
Deep garnet with hints of purple, the 2012 Shiraz has aromas of preserved plums, mulberries and baked black cherries with spice cake, chocolate box and licorice hints. Full-bodied, rich and seductive with loads of spice and velvety tannins, it has great freshness and finishes with great length. - Robert Parker 91 Points
Fresh and velvety, with smoky black walnut notes that play against more charming currant fruit flavors. Finishes on an earthy note. Drink now through 2018. 529 cases made.–HS - Wine Spectator Magazine 86 Points
