Monterra Kyella Baker Shiraz 2023

I’ll confess that I am none the wiser as to what or whom Kyella Baker is, but if this wine is a tribute to a friend of family, they’d be pretty happy. A well-crafted wine which is excellent value. A deep red/maroon hue, quite attractively perfumed, this is redolent of black fruits, aniseed, soy, crushed herbs and blackcurrants. It is slightly meaty on the palate, but has good focus and length, finishing with fine, powdery tannins. It will provide attractive drinking over the next six to eight years.
