2010 Warner Vineyard Shiraz, Giaconda, Beechworth, Victoria
The nose is attractive, with white flower and dark hedgerow fruit characters melding with sweet spice. The palate is rounded and ripe, with a woodsmoke character overlaying bright fresh hedgerow fruit and red berries. Tannins are soft and ripe, yet provide a good structure to this wine, which is also given a sense of drive by a freshening acidity that runs throughout.
