2008 Red Knot McLaren Vale Shiraz
"It's been a while since I've had a $15.00 red as satisfying as this little gem from renowned McLaren Vale producer Shingleback. It's a rich, flavoursome wine with plenty of grunt but the oak is nicely integrated and it's beautifully soft on the palate. Every time I looked down my glass was empty - always a good sign. Great value for $14.95."

Tasting Note
Vibrant magenta red. Aromas of fresh, ripe raspberries and blackberries are lightly framed by nuances of roasted coffee and cashew. The mid-palate is a compote of summer berries contained within a soft tannin and toasty oak lattice. A medium bodied wine with well balanced acidity and length of flavour.
