Tasting Notes
The Somerled McLaren Vale 2022 Shiraz opens with an inviting, deeply expressive nose of dark plum, blackberry compote, and crushed violets, underscored by a signature McLaren Vale warmth of dark chocolate and mocha. On the palate, this wine is generous and plush, delivering waves of ripe black cherry, boysenberry, and licorice, with beautifully integrated French and American oak lending vanilla and cedar complexity. The tannins are velvety and well-structured, characteristic of the region's maritime-influenced viticulture, while a thread of cracked black pepper and dried herbs adds savory intrigue. The wine's natural richness is balanced by a lively acidity that keeps it fresh and food-friendly throughout.
