Angove Shiraz McLaren Vale 2022

From a very solid vintage for the McLaren Vale region, this is drinking well above its price – something that usually applies to all wines from this producer. Angove have done an excellent job in expanding from their traditional region and this wine is ample evidence of that. The nose here exhibits dry herbs, blackcurrants, licorice, coffee grinds, chocolate and a hint of sour cherries on the finish. Dark purple in colour, this is fresh, attractive and will have a long and promising life. Very good persistence here, bright acidity and sleek tannins, this offers good drinking now and for the next six to eight years. Good value.
