Haselgrove "Catkin" Shiraz 2011

McLaren Vale Shiraz

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2011 Origin Series Catkin Shiraz offers a black pepper and fertile loam-laced nose over a core of dried herbs, blackberries and black cherries. Medium-bodied, it is elegantly fruited on the palate with a low to medium level of chewy tannins and refreshing acidity, finishing with good persistence of pepper and herb notes. Drink it now to 2019. Robert Parker 89 points
