The 2013 Shaw & Smith Shiraz is a stellar example of cool climate shiraz, it's layers of subtle fruit and winemaker derived influences paired with impeccable structure provide a thought provoking and complex wine.
A medium red in colour, the nose gives crushed blueberry, savoury whole bunch nuances and background clove.
The palate is elegance and structure personified with dark cherry and plum against silky tannins, pepper and spice frame the mid to back palate.
The length to finish is considerable, with fruit the hero and savoury characters playing second fiddle with sweet stem lingering.
Give this wine time and watch it flourish further.
