Montvalley Shiraz 2004
Style: Medium bodied red
Region: Hunter Valley, NSW
Tasting note: It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Shiraz as quintessentially Hunter Valley as this one. A dusty and leathery nose with subtle hints of blackberry and spicy oak. Nice aged plum and spice characters on the palate with just a bit of game.
Final Say: A good example of the Hunter Valley of old. $19.99 a bottle.
Score: 16 out of 20
