Pirramimma Geoff Johnston Milestone Shiraz 2020

This comes from a vineyard Geoff Johnston planted with his father back in 1971. It’s always harvested early and in this warm to hot dry year with small intense berry flavours a feature, that is suited to the wine perfectly. This is less about ripe generous fruit but more about poise and savoury dried herb influenced flavours. It is silky smooth with a marvelous integration of oak and fruit with a chalky tannin support to take it to a long finish. I like that little hint of sage bush to the finish.
