Shaw & Smith Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2012
A strong vintage for Shiraz in the Adelaide Hills, and when you add in to the equation the Shaw & Smith team you end up with a quite fantastic example of cool climate Shiraz.
Touches of cassis, damson and blackberry; flecks of pepper and pan juices herald the wine's introduction.
Cooler climate - a wine like this would normally have the marketing team running to embrace the 'Syrah' moniker - here the wine is squarely medium-bodied, exquisitely grained tannin: fine, tight and yet at the same time also generous. A delight. 94
