An old school kind of Clare Valley Shiraz, sweet fruited and generous, bringing a lot of everything to the glass. Black fruits roam the length and breadth of this Shiraz with aniseed, black olive, spice, mulberry and earth. There are smoked meats, too, bringing an attractive savouriness that blends in well. Sits lush and full but with a touch of class and individuality. Good fruit concentration, length, integrated oak and dressed in firm tannins, Reverence shows a traditional style of Clare Shiraz of strong general appeal.
