Greenock Creek Vineyard & Cellars  2019 Stone Block

Shiraz (Barossa Valley)

Ripe and opulent on the nose, this lush, inky black-colored wine smells of mulberry, blueberry and black cherry. There’s also an intriguing note of tar, musk and barbecue spice lurking beneath the fruit. The palate is splendid in its silky-smooth feel. The underlying, roaring alcohol is impressively well contained by the plump, even gluttonous, fruit concentration. The tannins are tender but lightly nudging and the acidity is supporting but discreet. Bravo on the pinpoint fine balance of this ambitious, engaging and persistent wine. Drink now–2034.
