Wait a little while for a thin covering of confectionery to blow off and you have a nice little Shiraz here. Forest berries, peanuts, damp earth, a little mint and some pepper. Nimble with tangy acidity riding the flavours the whole way through.
There’s a bit of tannic grip, always nice to see at this price point. The finish isn’t emphatic but I like the salty sour plum flavour that the wine goes out on.
Four Winds Vineyard are certainly establishing themselves as a small winery worth watching. This is a step up from the previous release; hopefully indicative of where the things are heading in the future.
