Longview Yakka Shiraz 2010

Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaAussie slang for 'hard work'. From a single estate vineyard on the SE Ridge of the Mt Lofty Ranges comes this characterful shiraz. Fresh thyme and rosemary dominate a warm herbal nose, with dark chocolate and red cherry fruit. The full bodied palate teems with black cherry, perfumed violets, cracked pepper and wild blackberry blossoms, with downy plush tannins and an herbal twist to the lengthy finish. This is a big, striking wine - possibly Yakka to absorb at first, but impossible to turn away from.Tasted: 13 December 2014Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
