While Oatley's main winery is now located in Margaret River, the 2017 Signature Series McLaren Vale Shiraz continues the family tradition of sourcing Shiraz from McLaren Vale. Scents of woodsmoke, boysenberries and black olives emerge on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is supple and creamy in texture. It's an easy-drinker, but one that shows a fair bit of complexity for the price. Drink it over the next few years.

Toasted caraway seed and cedar notes add a spicy component to the core of ripe cherry and plum flavors, set on a smooth frame. A detail of black tea emerges on the firming finish. Drink now. 5,000 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
