A refined and cool-climate Shiraz, the 2022 Shaw + Smith Shiraz opens with aromas of blackberry, plum and black cherry layered with notes of violet, cracked pepper and aromatic spice. On the palate it is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, combining vibrant dark fruit with fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Nuances of licorice, olive tapenade and subtle smoky notes carry through the long, savory finish. Pairs well with grilled lamb, roast duck, beef tenderloin and mushroom dishes.
