Tasting Notes
The Howlin Gale Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2018 opens with an inviting and generous nose of ripe blackberry, dark plum, and crushed blueberry, underpinned by warm notes of mocha, vanilla, and a whisper of cracked black pepper. Langhorne Creek's proximity to Lake Alexandrina lends this wine its signature plushness — the palate is richly textured and supple, delivering waves of dark cherry compote, boysenberry, and a hint of milk chocolate. Integrated French and American oak contributes a gentle cedary spice and sweet vanilla cream, while the region's deep alluvial soils add a subtle earthy complexity. The tannins are ripe and velvety, characteristic of the slow-ripening Langhorne Creek climate, giving the wine a rounded, approachable structure. The finish is long and warming, with lingering dark fruit, a touch of licorice, and a gentle peppery lift that invites the next sip.
