Hugh Hamilton 'The Black Sheep' Shiraz 2022, McLaren Vale, Australia

 

This generous shiraz has lifted fruit and dried floral notes redolent of cigar box, rose petals and a basket of fresh berries. The palate is full-bodied with a smooth texture brimming with flavors of dark fruit, plum, licorice, mocha and subtle peppery spice. A long and lingering finish calls for hearty meals like grilled meats, rich stews or tajines.
