2022 Riposte The Cutlass Shiraz
Midnight black core with a dark red black tinged hue. Alluring scents of black cherry, liquorice and dried clove are complimented by smoked meat and peppered earth notes. Juicy plum, liquorice and black cherry fruits are complexed by infusions of dried clove, smoked meats and peppered earth. Medium bodied it has fine grained tannins and a polished feel. Finishes savoury and elegant.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14%

Adelaide Hills Shiraz is a hot-ticket at the moment and here is a wine that sits very comfortably in the pocket of the emergence of a regional style. It’s satisfyingly ripe, crimson plum and berry to the fore, plump, with a little lift of pepper. Its signature, more importantly, is a palate shape that feels circular and continuous, with a sense of generosity that fills the mouth without weight, thickness or oak overburden. A wine with purity of flavour and structure that offers a complete new-age Shiraz experience.
