Thicker than Water Omertà McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

From brilliant vintage for the region, Omerta, as any fan of the Goodfellas genre of movies knows, means keep your mouth shut. Consequently, the team here is not telling us where the fruit for this top-notch red was sourced. No matter, as it is clearly quality stuff. The colour is a dark red maroon. On the nose we have notes of chocolate, mocha, roast meats, plums, black fruits, soy, cloves and aniseed. The wine has a subtle texture running through to quite silky tannins. A big bold McLaren Vale red from a great vintage, there is a lot to like here. It has excellent length and should provide pleasure for the next fifteen years at least.
