This young McLaren Vale Shiraz from Yangarra’s King’s Wood block promises a vibrant and rich experience. On the nose, expect intense aromas of dark fruits like blackberry, plum, and black cherry, intertwined with notes of dark chocolate, licorice, and a hint of black pepper. The ‘King’s Wood’ designation suggests a pronounced oak influence, lending nuances of vanilla, cedar, and subtle toast. The palate will be full-bodied and concentrated, with ripe, chewy tannins providing structure. Flavors of dark berry fruit are complemented by baking spices, savory undertones, and a touch of mocha. The finish is long, warm, and persistent, leaving lingering notes of fruit and spice.
