Loom Long Yarn Blewitt Spings Shiraz 2008 - Mclaren Vale, Australia

The colour is surprisingly light for this region and this age, a light ruby red.  The nose leads with melted chocolate, cherry ripe and shaved wood. This Shiraz is medium bodied, with gentle spice and some tart red fruit flavours. Good acid and gentle tannin make for a more elegant style of Shiraz than I normally expect from this part of Mclaren. It is ready for drinking and at the peak now. A$20/bottle

87 points
