NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Nugan Mclaren Parish Vineyard Shiraz is a full-bodied, robust red wine with a deep purple-red hue.On the nose, it presents aromas of ripe dark plums, cherries, and blackberries, as well as notes of spice, herbs, and pepper. On the palate, it is rich and concentrated, with a ripe, velvety texture, and flavors of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and sweet oak. Balanced acidity and smooth, supple tannins make for a plush, long finish. A great example of the McLaren Vale region's signature Shiraz style.
