Wild & Wilder The Opportunist Shiraz 2021

One thing you can guarantee with the wines of Langhorne Creek – they will be so enticing and drinkable. This one is right on the money. Bright and vibrant red fruits with a little mix of cherry and plum. Fine chalky tannins sit comfortably within the fleshy fruit while a little oak adds a lift on the finish. Nice current drinking wine.
