Reschke R-Series Shiraz 2020

This top value Shiraz is blended from vineyards in Robe, Wrattonbully, Coonawarra and Padthaway, the latter three all on terra
rossa soils. Each vineyard is fermented separately. Time on skins varied from 10 to 18 days. Care was taken to avoid excessive extraction. Maturation was in a mix of American and French oak hogsheads. Magenta in colour, the nose oozes plushness (if a nose can do such a thing). Chocolate and plums, black cherries and some tobacco leaf. Good early complexity here. Seductive texture, this lingers beautifully, but it does fade in intensity just a touch towards the finish. Satiny tannins. Delicious now, but it certainly has a future.
