Country: Australia / Obsidian
Variety: Shiraz South Australia
Winery: Gemtree / McLaren Vale
Gemtree’s Obsidian Shiraz ratchets up the intensity from its usual offerings, adding structure and richness to straight-ahead aromas and flavors of cherries, coffee and vanilla. The wood sticks out a little on the finish, so give it another year or two in the bottle, then drink it over the next 10.
