2020 Turkey Flat Butchers Block Shiraz

Dense inky black heart with a very deep dark purple black hue. Expressive blueberry, liquorice and plum scents mix with fresh herb, subtle vanillin cedar and light pepper notes. Bright juicy plum, liquorice and blueberry fruits have a fleshy feel over delicate earth, infusions of fresh herbs and pepper. Fresh acidity and fine grained tannins with a quite elegant mid length conclusion.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 14.1%

Other Reviews….
Fragrant and lifted ripe plum and dark berry fruits with hints of exotic spice, violets, chocolate and underlying wafts of roasting meats, pressed flowers and light amaro herbs. The addition of a small amount of whole bunches to the ferment seems to open the wine up and let a little more light in, along with spice and textural elements. Pure of fruit with long, sandy tannins and a juicy finish, the Butchers Block provides excellent value and delicious drinking. Drink by 2026.
