Wine Expert Note:

This d'Arenberg The Footbolt Shiraz is a bold and intense Shiraz from the McLaren Vale of South Australia. On the nose, it has intense aromas of blackberry, plum, nutmeg, and pepper. On the palate, it has flavors of blackberry, blackcurrant, and spice, with slight notes of oak and a hint of earthiness. The tannins are soft and silky, and the finish is long and lingering. This is an excellent example of a classic Australian Shiraz and it will be a great match for grilled meats or hearty stews.
