Poacher’s Ridge Terroir Driven Shiraz Viognier 2017

Immediately aromatic contribution from the Viognier is apparent but it doesn’t overpower the essential qualities and characteristics of the Shiraz. There is just a touch of that perfumed spicy gingery character on the nose. The palate is plush and velvety smooth with tannins getting a little Viognier boost bringing structure and poise. Drinking well now but a few more years wouldn’t hurt.
