This McLaren Vale Shiraz, from the 2021 vintage, is expected to be a bold and expressive wine. On the nose, anticipate concentrated aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and black cherry, interwoven with notes of dark chocolate, licorice, black pepper, and a hint of espresso or savory herbs. The palate will be full-bodied and rich, with a powerful core of dark fruit flavors that mirror the aromatics. Expect firm but well-integrated tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, spicy finish with lingering fruit and a touch of oak complexity.
