Molly’s Cradle Vignerons Selection Shiraz 2011
Style: Full-bodied red
Region: McLaren Vale, SA
Tasting note: Dense and brooding, certainly a feat in a tough year like 2011. The oak definitely owns the nose with notes of pencil shavings with tentative tendrils of plum reaching upwards out of the glass. Plum, blackberry and golden rough on the palate.
Final Say: If you like oak, this wine is for you, though at times it can be a little overbearing. $16.99 a bottle.
Score: 15.5 out of 20
