A more than tidy Coonawarra Shiraz for around the $20 mark. It’s generous but not heavy with a clip of spicy vanillin oak and rich, jubey fruit.
Blackberries, plums and purple floral notes with red fruits speckling the nose. Eucalypt and hints of red dirt. Gummy tannin tethers the flavours on the back-palate. Pretty decent length too. Tasty, honest fare. 90 Good
