Generally, I find the 2017 reds from Margaret River are not travelling as well as I would want them to: many are starting to fragment and fray due to the challenging conditions during the growing season (it was the first wet and cold vintage since 2006). However, there are some estates that really excelled in this season, and I feel Leeuwin is one of those. Here, the 2017 Art Series Shiraz is mineral and fresh, with bloody red fruit and layers of graphite and gravel. There is blood and sheets of dried nori, and generally the wine is straddling the tight line of restraint and spice. Sealed under screw cap.

Bright and succulent, with blood orange, raspberry and kirsch flavors accented by red licorice, clove and cherry-vanilla soda notes on a plush, harmonious finish. Drink now. 225 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Western Australia / Margaret River Select to Add

Glass-staining ruby. Blackberry, cherry preserve, licorice and vanilla scents on the smoke-accented nose. Primary dark fruit, mocha and vanilla flavors show very good depth and pick up a spicy nuance with air. The vanilla and cherry notes return on the long, youthfully tannic finish that features a hint of salty olive. Give this one some time, as the oak component is definitely making its case now.
