B&H Rags to Riches Margaret River Shiraz 2024

So often the bridesmaid, Margaret River Shiraz really does deserve greater acclaim, but when the region does such stellar Cabernet Sauvignon, it is a hard road. This example saw considerable whole berry fermentation and maturation for the best part of a year. A vibrant purple, this wine is seriously young but offers much promise. The nose exhibits notes of plums, mulberries, fresh and exotic spices, cloves, chocolate and black cherries. There are fine, satiny tannins, as the black fruits really emerge to advantage on the palate. There is good length and the intensity is maintained throughout. Delicious but really young, there is much more ahead of this wine over the next five to seven years.
