The Angove Family's Family Crest red wines are simply the essence of McLaren Vale winemaking and this Shiraz is no exception. Deep red with purple hues with aromas of pepper, red cherry and black chocolate precede a palate of dark chocolate and liquorice, with a raspberry with mouth-filling presence and soft lingering tannins.
"A warm-climate wine that plays a hand of cool climate tension, reining in exuberance with a clutch of reductive handling. The dried seaweed, voilet and barbecue scents are attractive. Ample blue fruits, too, with a skein of peppery freshness and whole-bunch spice marking a long finish that is just a bit hard." - Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine Companion (91 Points)
"Delicious. This 2020 Shiraz is spicy, buoyant and bright, reining in the best that McLaren,Vale has to offer, in terms of blueberry pie, raspberry, a lash of salted licorice and layers of fine, black-tea tannins. Yummo." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (92 Points)
"Deep ruby red colour. Mulberry, anise, and smokey aromas. Plump dark berry fruit sits full bodied on the tongue, layers of smoked and curing meat savouries offer character and keep the attention focused. Good length is caressed by a fine gravelly tannin structure that will hold it in good stead for years to come. A lot of wine at the price” - Stuart Knox, The Real Review 2022 (92 Points)
