This McLaren Vale Shiraz is just one of those South Australian beauties I love getting my lips around. The foundation of this wine comes from vines that fall into the 50 year old plus category and with that kind of vine maturity the wine just tends to roar - “I am McLaren Vale”.
In the first approach it can start a little tight but it’s obvious from the fine tannin structure that it is about to bare some fine fruit. This is where it comes into its own as a great restaurant wine. It doesn’t need a whole lot of coursing to become a crowd pleaser and in a short time it is showing off rich dark berries and wonderfully balanced spice and chocolate.
It is superbly priced, so get it any way you can and enjoy it for what it is. See it on a wine list, grab a bottle or two, order up some meat and let the good times roll! Waitersfriend loves it and I’m sure it wont let you down.
