Zonte’s Footsteps Z-Force Shiraz 2021

A McLaren Vale Shiraz from a very tidy year that captures both the power and plushness of this region. Power pack of spicy plum and dark chocolate, with a liberal hit of oak that remains balanced. The palate is dense and concentrated, but delightfully smooth and supple, with a fleshy, sumptuous mid-palate. The oak and tannin combination works neatly and harmoniously to drive through to a sustained, most complete finish. It’s a wine with vibrancy and purity about it, with its delightful mouthfeel.
