Pirramimma Low Trellis Ironstone Shiraz 2015
McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaThe Oz style is all about fruit and softness. In this case, it's rich red plums and sassy mulberry fruit with a dusting of vanilla. On the palate the wine is expansive but vibrant with more dark plums, blackberries, and flecks of milk chocolate. The finish is substantial, with soft spice and a very light pepper tone, compared to Rhone or BC. A hedonistic style of shiraz with balance, this will age for a decade. Some 40 percent of this shiraz spends 28 months in new French oak and American oak, but thanks to the high fruit factor the tannins are kept well in check. A roast leg of lamb would be the ticket here.Tasted: 10 September 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $59.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
