Sophie’s 2015 Palm Block Shiraz (Barossa Valley)

Country: Australia / Palm Block
Variety: Shiraz South Australia
Winery: Sophie’s / Barossa Valley

Ripe grape jelly notes lead this big-boned Shiraz, followed by licorice and dry, brittle oak. The acid and tannins are in balance on the palate, while the oak is a little prominent. Despite that, plenty of juicy fruit follows through to the finish. Drink now–2022.
