Longview Vineyard

2016 LONGVIEW VINEYARD YAKKA ADELAIDE HILLS SHIRAZ

RRP $30 / 2033

You can’t help but admire the integration of sweet, sawdusty French oak with black-cherried fruit and assorted spices and woody herbs. Plum flavours add yet more flesh to sink into; smoke notes a bit of fantasy; velvety texture the cushion on which it’s all propped. It’s a wonderful red to settle in with. 14.5% alc. CM

VIGNERONS Mark and Peter Saturno What do you love about aged wine?

Anticipation. Laying a wine down to enjoy later isn’t an exact science, so it’s never a given that all the components have become integrated and balanced. Discovering that a wine has become ethereal, however, gives one a sense of delight…and relief!
