Monterra, McLaren Vale (Australia) Shiraz 2016

Feb 8, 2017

By Rich Cook

A nicely priced Shiraz that shows great integration of fruit and savory character, showing blackberry, blueberry, leaf, meat and soft mint aromas and flavors.  Supple tannins provide enough grip to push the finish, where everything stays together well.  This is a great all-purpose red to have in your collection for near term drinking.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2017 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
