Henry's Drive Vignerons Pillar Box Reserve Shiraz 2009
Padthaway, South Australia, AustraliaThe Reserve Shiraz is big and blousy with a cool savoury attack of red fruits, plums and floral notes that carry onto the palate. There is some acidity pushing through but the textures are dense with bits of cedar, rhubarb and plums in the finish. The wine is aged in mostly French oak for 12 months after which the best lots are pulled together to make the reserve. It is more on the elegant style with a minty, floral, finish.
