2011 Oakvale Peppercorn Shiraz

oakvale peppercornApologies for the break in transmission. Queensland is in the midst of its seemingly biennial flood. Stable internet access has been the only real issue I’ve had to face but my thoughts are with those who aren’t as fortunate. To the wine at hand…

Vanilla oak, pepper and some red and black berries…although those fruits are light on. Hints of saddle leather and earth. The tomato-like acidity is jarring and there’s not much in the way of length. Bitter on the back-palate. There you have it. 84 Average
