WINE DESCRIPTION
Winemaker Kevin Mitchell crafts terroir-styled wines from low-yield, mature vineyards; he employs careful maturation, with no fining, clarification or filtration. Lush and lively, with a whiff of eucalypt and loaded with ripe, spice-edged plum and cherry characters supported by supple tannins. Totally dependable.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This lush, full-bodied Kilikanoon The Lackey Shiraz is bursting with ripe blackberry and plum flavors, balanced with pleasant oak characters.The tannins are chewy and well-integrated, lending a soft, velvety texture to the palate. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of cinnamon and pepper. Enjoy this wine now, or cellar for up to 7 years for further complexity.
