This plum-and brick-colored Shiraz-Sangiovese blend from the Clare Valley is a dense, concentrated bottling. The ripe plum and cherry fruit is backed by chocolaty oak and earthy, peppery spice and herbal notes. The powerful palate is cinched with skinsy tannins. There's a brambly, sappy, savory quality here that appeals, but it lacks flavor depth and veers astringent and drying on the finish.
