2011 Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz

A most satisfying Bin 128 offer from Coonawarra, and proudly from a vintage often declared to be far from perfect …

Food-friendly, with a tannin/acid weave that aligns perfectly to a wide range of cuisines.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2011 Bin 128 Shiraz offers ripe cassis, mulberries, pepper and red currant notes with hints of cedar.

Concentrated and muscular, it has a medium level of grainy tannins and a vibrant acid line. It is quite a lively, fresh style of wine with a nice herbal and savory edge on the long finish.
