2012 On The Wing Shiraz

On the Wing is a new range of wines from Tim McNeil that takes its name from Tim's hey days in the late 1980s as a young footballer sporting a blonde mullet, playing on the wing for the mighty Norwood Redlegs. Off to a great start this rookie delivers the full bodied flavour and flamboyance of an inspirational wingman.

A Rich Opulently textured Clare Valley Shiraz that surpasses all expectations at its price point.

Totally opaque inky black core with a deep dark purple black hue. The nose possesses excellent intensity with ripe blackberry, black cherry and liquorice scents over a background of smoky vanillin cedar and spice. Rich sumptuous flavours of ripe blackberries, liquorice and black cherries fill the palate creating a plush velvety mouthfeel over a background of toasty chocolatey oak and spice. Very fine grained well integrated tannins. Long ripe blackberry, liquorice, black cherry and spicy chocolatey oak aftertaste.
