Tasting Notes
The Riposte Cutlass Shiraz from the Adelaide Hills opens with an inviting and complex aromatic profile — dark plum and blackberry fruit leap from the glass, underpinned by fragrant violet florals and a whisper of cracked black pepper that speaks to the cooler-climate origins of this wine. On the palate, it delivers a beautifully structured mid-weight expression of Shiraz, with juicy dark cherry and boysenberry fruit framed by supple, fine-grained tannins. A thread of smoked meat and cedar adds savory depth, while the wine's natural acidity keeps everything lively and focused. The finish is long and composed, with lingering spice and a touch of dark chocolate that invites another sip.
