I somehow always prefer HP's Leston Shiraz to the Scotsdale, but at least the two bottlings do have their own personalities. This wine has woodsy tannins, and a slight greenness mixed in with its black grape and plum fruit. Finishes woody and wooly, with that leaf-stem flavor again. The note that is offputting to this reviewer stems from terroir, not flawed winemaking; the wine may be more attractive to others.
