Tar and Roses Shiraz 2010, Heathcote, Victoria, Australia



The fruit originated from both Heathcote 86% and Strathbogie Ranges 14%, maturation taking place in French oak (24% new) for 12 months and alcohol coming in at 14.5%.

Awesome nose on this Shiraz with aromas of black cherry, ripe wild berries, black pepper, smoky, chocolate savoury spices, light mineral and floral notes. On the mouthfeel, full bodied, creamy with great structure and style, fresh acidity and dusty tannins. This wine’s finish is rich, creamy, tasty with a very good length. Lots of everything on this Shiraz, but not overdone. Love this wine, very good value, returned to purchase 2 more. Score 90 points.

Purchased August 18, 2012 LCBO New Release (282731) at $21.95
