Howard Park
Flint Rock Shiraz
Great Southern, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
Not your typical Shiraz in the sense that it's not so "in your face". It drinks more elegantly. Smooth & oaky & velvety. Price point is approx $24

Lovely fruit and approachable tannins with noticeable (but not overdone) RS. Easy and happy.

As you may have seen, my Monday night dinner was rather tasty - jerky & Shiraz 😜 I picked the Howard Park 2014 'Flint Rock' Shiraz from WA's Great Southern to go with this WA-made kangaroo jerky as I've heard kangaroo is a good match for Aussie Shiraz. I have to admit, it was a pretty good treat!

This particular Shiraz is a deep, dark garnet-plum colour in the glass. On the nose it's elegant with a fresh coolness to it and juicy fresh cherries laced with vanilla. Those cherries come through on the palate backed by a lovely clean structure, silky tannins, hints of blackcurrants and a peppered finish. A super elegant cool-climate Shiraz.
