Much like Meryl Streep this wine is a consistent winner (with a list of awards almost as long). It’s easy to see why, McLaren Vale after all is Shiraz country through and through. This has the classic vibrant purple colour, a fitting colour for the heady fruit aromas. Black cherry and plum leap out of the glass with a touch of something vaguely reminiscent of a fresh blueberry muffin. The fruit dominates the flavour as well, leading into a coffee and cream mid palate. Roasted nuts and dark chocolates bring up the rear with youthful tannins and a subtle dash of oak.
