Zonte’s Footstep Chocolate Factory Shiraz 2021

McLaren Vale Shiraz in a good vintage can be mighty good. This one is right in there, delivering a most enjoyable Shiraz. Spicy vanillin, blackberry and plum aromas engage immediately on the nose. It’s a medium bodied wine that is all energy and life within its delicious palate. Dig and you can see the chocolatey characters, but there’s a lot more in there, with black olive, clove and a touch of coffee grinds. Love drinking it now but it can handle a little time in the cellar.
