The McLaren Vale district is famous for its well-balanced Shiraz, in contrast to the riper, heavier Shiraz from the nearby Barossa Valley. The Sister’s Run Epiphany is in that mold. With exquisite balance and exceptional fruit purity, this is a wonderful example of what McLaren Vale can produce. This vintage shows ripe blueberry fruit with a lovely back note of wood spice. A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
