Chapel Hill House Block McLaren Vale Shiraz, 2014

Chapel Hill's House Block Shiraz comes from one of the best vineyards in McLaren Vale, and the winemaker is Michael Drago. Like John Duval, Drago is a former winemaker at Penfolds who helped produce the highly touted Grange Hermitage.

Very deep and dark. Big and youthful. Blackberries, mulberries, oak. Full bodied with substantial tannins on the mid-palate and finish. Good potential, but, for my taste, this wine needs at least another five years in the cellar.
