Ponting 366 McLaren Vale/Coonawarra Shiraz Cabernet 2019

You don’t often see the combination of McLaren Vale and Coonawarra but it works here to provide serious power and quality. Aromas are bold yet coiled for ageability showing cassis, mulberry, blackberry and cocoa, all well integrated with toasty oak. McLaren Vale then comes out to play with waves of dark berry flavour before Coonawarra tannins whip in to tighten up the finish. It’s the ultra-sustained length, finish and structure that show this wine has some serious class.
