Shoofly South Australia Shiraz, 2017

Recent bottles of this wine have been a bit closed, but this one tonight is singing, as it did in July, 2020 when I had it at a Tasters Guild dinner. It is a good value at $10 to $15 a bottle.

Deep and dark. Blackberries and sweet oak spice. Just a touch of pepper on the finish. More acidity than I would expect from an Ausside Shiraz,, but the grapes come from relatively cool vineyards in McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, Padthaway and Wrattenbully.. Plush on the mid-palate and a ripe finish.
