Heirloom Vineyards, Barossa (Australia) Shiraz 2019

Jun 23, 2021

By Michael Franz

 This is both a terrific wine and an outstanding value.  The concentration is exceptional and the depth of fruit virtually bottomless, yet fresh acidity keeps this from seeming anything but graceful even on a very large scale.  Red and blue berry fruit notes are ultra-expressive, and it is remarkable that such a big wine can seem so refreshing and inviting rather than soupy and imposing.   A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Critics Challenge International Wine and Spirits Competition.
