2016 Clare Valley Shiraz bottle
Description
The Clare Valley is a relatively cool-climate versus The Barossa and produces a wine with a focused and concentrated style balanced with seamless elegance. Black pepper, fennel, leather upholstery, hot cinnamon, and cherry hard candy are topped with a lovely menthol topnote. The palate is seamless, rich and juicy with unctuous candied black cherry and savory notes of lavender-herbed lamb punctuated with fine french oak tannins in a mouth-watering finish. Remarkably energetic and fresh for a 2016 wine thanks to the large format oak combo.
