Full-bodied and fleshy, the 2018 Signature Series McLaren Vale Shiraz is a top example of this wine, boasting hints of cracked pepper and blueberries on the nose. In the mouth, it features ripe, supple tannins and a lingering, softly dusty finish. It's easily the equal of the fine 2016. At a street price that's often under the $20 suggested retail, it's a terrific bargain.

Rye toast and cedar aromas add a spicy overtone to the round cherry and berry flavors, finishing with a note of chai tea. Heavy on the star anise. Drink now. 5,000 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
