Tin Shed Single Wire Eden Valley Shiraz 2021

The flagship offering from Tin Shed comes from Eden Valley fruit with the wine seeing 20 months in a mix of new and old French oak. Milk chocolate melds with blackberry, brown spice, and smoke to begin. This is followed by coffee grounds, a creamy note from the oak, and a bit of lacquer aroma, too, from a high ABV. The palate is full bodied, with a creamy texture – blackberry, milk chocolate, mocha, cacao, and some red plum. This plum note carries with a critically freshening acid line alongside fine, silky tannins. It finishes quite long and fine. There’s a cool Eden Valley elegance that permeates this wine, despite its ripeness, obvious oak influence, and 15% ABV. Nicely done.
