Clare Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThis approachable, ready to drink Clare Valley shiraz shows a combination of ripe, slightly confected black fruits and cracked pepper, with the wood firmly in the background. It's not quite as full as you'd expect from the 14.5% abv, but it should make for a fantastic barbeque wine as we head into the May long weekend. Just follow the guide on the back label and chill slightly.Tasted: 10 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:
Clare Valley, South Australia, AustraliaRich, fleshy, and full, this potent shiraz came from the Taylor family estate in Clare Valley. After destemming and ferment in stainless, this, along with the hard press, aged in American oak for one year. Big blackberry jam, mint, cassis, mocha floods the juicy palate, sweet with the Aussie sun, though propped upright by a spike of acidity. Tannins are plush and ample, guiding this to a soft landing. Ready to drink now.Tasted: 17 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:
