Shoofly South Australia Shiraz, 2017

South Australia is a large, diverse wine growing area, and this wine apparently is made from warm as well as cool climate vineyards. Winemaker is Ben Riggs.

Deep and dark. Aroma has developed noticeably since the last bottle. Very forward black fruits, coffee and sweet oak. Jammy fruit from warmer areas plus some spice and black pepper from cooler ones. Tannins on mid-palate and some alcoholic heat on the finish. If you have any of this left in your cellar, I would recommend drinking it now.
