The only one of these six Vinaceous offerings to come from outside Margaret River, the 2017 Snake Charmer Shiraz deftly blends fruity and savory components, blending black olives with mixed berries. There's a definite herbal streak as well. It's medium to full-bodied, plush and velvety, ending with a wash of soft tannins.

Appealing black cherry, plum and raspberry flavors are plump, with a ripe profile, offering red licorice, tomato leaf and spice flavors. A touch of clay lingers on the finish. Drink now through 2034. 4,000 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
