Australia - Region: Clare Valley, SA
The McRae Wood Shiraz is made from grapes declassified from ‘The Armagh’ and blended with special parcels of estate fruit. Dense inky black heart with a deep dark purple black hue. Elevated scents of black cherry, liquorice and blackberry carry a smoky cedar overlay with some fennel, earth and peppered meat notes following on. Rich and plush yet also sturdy in its structure with black cherry and liquorice fruits framed by muscular tannins. Black olive, scorched earth, toasty cedar and blackpepper characters lurk in the background. Slightly grippy yet generous medium to long conclusion.
