Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2018

Canberra District, Australia

WineSaint
Dense blackcurrant and cracked pepper surge across the palate, framed by herbs that recall sun-baked hillsides. The tannins are formidable. Still clenched and unyielding. This is Shiraz at its most muscular, built for the long haul. Give it until 2028 at minimum.
