This 2019 Mappinga Shiraz is very good. It harnesses a meaty core of fruit that blends well with the cool spice that so many Syrahs in the Hills are possessed of. With layers of dark, moody flavors and pinned together by a duo of pliable tannins and saline acidity, this is an elegant, spicy rendition of Shiraz. And it is all the better for its restraint and medium-bodied elegance.
