Medium to deep garnet/purple, the 2012 Special Select Coonawarra Shiraz has a lot of oak, red and black cherries, sandalwood and pepper on the nose intermixed with a Provencal herb undercurrent. Medium to full-bodied and quite oaky, the palate is youthful, has firm, grainy tannins and a long finish.

Dense, prickly tannins wrap around eucalyptus and dark chocolate flavors, the dark blue fruit finally picking up on the finish. Best after 2016. 50 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Coonawarra Select to Add
