The 2021 Shiraz leads with blackberry jam and cracked black pepper (which is crazy given the cool climate, but it's there), raspberry, cracked fennel seeds and black olive brine. In the mouth, the wine is supple and silky, with ripe fruit flavors littered throughout. It has fine, pliable tannins, and there is a profusion of dried herbs through the finish. It matured for 15 months in barrel prior to barrel selection and blending. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
