Hayes Family Wines Estate Shiraz 2020

 

A blend of the estate blocks on the Hayes property, sometimes such wines are looked upon as the dregs thrown into one. Not so. Some blends, such as this one, are an exercise of winemaker skill - bringing together parcels of fruit to get the right balance of fruit, oak and acid. One wine that highlights such blending expertise for me is the Thomas Wines Elenay. Give this Hayes Shiraz a chance to open up and you'll see what a beauty it is.

Purple fruits hit the dance floor with soft spices shaking things up. A bed of plums is framed by cocoa and tar. The more time it sees, the more it shows coffee grounds and aniseed characters. Some earthiness lurks with a finish that is deep, dense and persistent. A great Shiraz that will also benefit from some age.
