This is a bold and intense Australian Shiraz from d'Arenberg, one of McLaren Vale's leading wineries. It has a deep, dark ruby color with a nose of dark fruits, licorice, and spice. The palate is full-bodied and lushly textured, with a core of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate flavors. The tannins are firm, yet smooth, and the finish is long, with lingering notes of black pepper and coffee. Enjoy this wine now, or cellar for up to ten years for an even more intense flavor experience.
