There's a reductive barnyard note straight off the bat on this Shiraz that distracts from the red-plum, mint and cola characters. Things improve on the palate where a lift of acidity adds a crunchiness to the red fruit. Oaky tannins are a touch astringent, and there's some alcohol heat, but overall this is a straightforward pizza red for drinking now.
