Somerled Shiraz 2007

The vintage of 2007 produced some challenges, but this Shiraz came through well. And to be honest, I could have been fed this through a drip.

Somerled is an Adelaide Hills producer but the fruit for this wine is sourced from McLaren Vale.

An alluring whiff of chocolate and plummy goodness with cedery oak chiming in.

Dense is the best way to describe the palate which coats the mouth wonderfully and it's laid on thick! Soft spice and a touch of smoke, the chocolate and plum flavours are generous and linger beautifully. A well balanced wine, the fine tannins which are not far off being powdery wrap up a very neat package.

Ideal for the cooler months, snuggle up in front of a fire with this. Every drop is worth the $34 requested although the winery throws a discount to club members who only dish out $29.
