Country: Australia /
Variety: Shiraz Western Australia
Winery: Plantagenet / Mount Barker
Darker, sterner and less accessible than Plantagenet’s Omrah bottling, the winery’s flagship Shiraz offers substantial dark fruit flavors reminiscent of espresso, plum and cracked pepper. The tannins are firm, suggesting at least 2–3 years of cellaring. (The 2007 is drinking well now.)
