Bremerton Selkirk Shiraz 2022

Just as the Tamblyn commemorates the Cornish side of the family, the Selkirk celebrates the Scottish heritage. Selkirk is a town located in the south eastern parts of the Scottish Borders and probably most famous for the time Sir Walter Scott spent there as Sherriff. Maturation for this fine Langhorne Creek Shiraz was in a mix of new and older French and American oak barrels. As we expect from both the region and this producer, fabulous value here. It does not hurt that 2022 is a superb vintage. An inky dark maroon, the nose exhibits notes of black fruits, beef stock, mulberries, chocolate, licorice, bay leaves and dried herbs. Saturated in flavour, the wine still retains a fine balance, creamy texture and satiny, supple tannins. We see more black fruits and cloves emerging on the palate. There is impressive length here and the wine should drink beautifully for the next ten to twelve years.
