Cape Barren Inflight McLaren Vale Shiraz Grenache 2022

From a superb McLaren Vale vintage, this blend is a cracker. An inky dark purple hue, the nose gives us spicy notes, dried herbs, mulberries, plums, leather, coffee grinds and touches of chocolate. The wine is focused and balanced, and the texture is supple. This is simply a joy to drink – utterly delicious. Drink now and for the next five years, although one suspects it will go much longer in good cellars.
