Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, South Australia. 14.5%
Deep dark colour.
Surprising nose, lifted but dense tight fruit aromas and extraordinary oak – a new interpretation of American oak, obvious but quite lovely, not in any way sweet and cloying.
Poised bright clear fruit. Ripe but not fat. Very polished without being a show pony. A smidge limey (tartaric acid, but to be expected for warm climate shiraz).
Quite a beautiful young shiraz from a traditional “big Aussie” shiraz region. Shows a good deal of finesse – not typical. An intense concentrated but drinkable wine.
Should have an interesting future.
Great value at $17.
