Reilly’s 2006 Stolen Block Shiraz (Clare Valley)

Country: Australia / Stolen Block
Variety: Shiraz South Australia
Winery: Reilly’s / Clare Valley

Marked on the nose by scents of berry, rhubarb and leather, this wine morphs on the palate to offer flavors of prune, chocolate and date. Although the tannins are supple, the wine’s substantial alcohol (15.8%) shows through on the finish. Probably best consumed in its youth.
