Barking Mad 2018 

Shiraz (Clare Valley)

Smelling of summer pudding, this wine’s aromas are bright and fresh. On the palate, flashy flavors of vanilla bean, blueberry, mulberry and Morello cherry abound. With air, cola notes surface, too. Full-bodied, with grainy tannins, warm alcohol and hard-working acidity, there’s good length on the dry finish. Very well put together, this is an approachable—if powerful—Aussie Shiraz. Drink now–2024.
