It was the “generous aromas of mulberries, dusted with exotic Indian spices” descriptor that made me intrigued to try this #ChapelHill ‘The Parson’ 2017 #Shiraz from #McLarenVale.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can’t say I picked up on those Indian spices but I did find the nose rather earthy and fresh with a hint of menthol. In the mouth I found it very easy drinking with a soft, plush nature and plentiful flavours of plums with a sprinkling of spice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A big thanks to Dialogue PR for sending this sample over.

It’s tart, tastes like basic red wine. I’m drunk.

Reliably good yet inexpensive bottle with bit of spice.

Nice tannins, deep red color and light fruit. Very enjoyable.

Did it amaze? No. But it was a solid if undistinguished $10 Shiraz that’s probably worth a second taste
