Mother's Milk Shiraz
The fruit-forward and charming 2022 Shiraz Mother's Milk offers up a wild ride of dark cherry and coffee bean aromas with a dark, earthy tinge. It's well-pitched, fresh and vibrant, with a supple core of tannins that fits the overall package of red berry flavor well before the gentle finish. $20.00 (Angus Hughson, Vinous, November 2024)

Nov 4th, 2024Dark Ruby-purple edges, aromas of ripe dark fruits and an array of spices, cigar box and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry preserves and blackberry, layering in some licorice, leather, tobacco and black pepper spice. Savory tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy character.

Aug 12th, 2022Shiraz 2008 from Barossa, Australia, 14,5%. I am a Syrah lover, and I truly enjoyed this one! Aged in new wood which gives intense cocoa and chocolate scents. In the mouth the tannins are smooth and vibrant.
