Zonte's Footstep. 2008 Shiraz



General: A nice Shiraz for the cool nights...

Variety: Shiraz

Region/G.I.: Fleurieu, McLaren Vale (This is marketed as a single vineyard wine from the Lake Doctor Vineyard)

Alcohol: 14.5%

Bouquet: Dense plum, mulberry and some vanilla.

Flavour: Medium body with very good length. As expected, fruit at the fore, with some vanilla undertone and this leads nicely through to a dry, peppery finish. What makes this better than average is its length and good balance

Points: 84

Notes: This is a good Shiraz to have handy for an enjoyable drink.
