Monterra McLaren Vale Shiraz 2020

Very hard to go wrong with a good McLaren Vale Shiraz. And this is a good McLaren Vale Shiraz. Quality fruit is on display here. The colour is deep red before offering a pleasing, slightly rustic nose – old-fashioned, if you prefer (and many do) – with blackberries, animal skins, olives, dark fruits and leather plus a hint of campfire, which is rather appealing. The texture is soft and generous, the wine supple. A lingering balanced finish to close with some chocolate notes emerging. Drink for the next four to five years.
