Wirra Wirra’s Chook Block 2016 from McLaren Vale is expected to be a rich, full-bodied red with significant depth. Aromas of ripe dark berries such as blackberry, cassis, and plum are likely to be interwoven with savory notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and a complex array of spices like black pepper, licorice, and clove. Underlying hints of cedar or subtle vanilla might indicate oak aging. On the palate, it should offer concentrated fruit intensity, firm yet well-integrated tannins, and a balanced acidity that provides structure. The finish is expected to be long and persistent, echoing the dark fruit and spicy characteristics, potentially evolving with tertiary notes of leather or earth given its age.
