It’s not often I quote from a wine’s technical sheet, but Heirloom Vineyard’s notes for its McLaren Vale Shiraz are too good to pass up: “Shiraz can be a simple sip or a symphony of the senses, a moment of pleasure or an eternity of contemplation. Only the poet can know, so stop thinking and surrender." McLaren Vale shiraz continues to evolve. From the chocolate covered berry style popularized by Wolf Blass to light and bright examples made by the likes of Gemstone. I really enjoyed the dramatic range of personalities (of shiraz and winemakers!) one can experience in McLaren Vale. This expressive one lands in the middle, with rich and rewarding fruit and appealing fragrance. It’s approachable now but has stuffing to age. Refreshing. Refined. Ready when you are. Drink now-2030. (91/100)
