2017 was a relatively cool vintage in McLaren Vale and on Yangarra's Shiraz in particular, it makes for more elegance and refreshment. Lucid and expressive, this opens with a melange of aromas: cherries and currents, sweet and savory spices, chocolate, floral and mineral base notes. The palate follows suit just as you'd expect with a lovely juxtaposition between elegance and crunchy red berries tempered by taut, fine, highly textural tannins. A spiciness lingers. Drink now with rustic, meaty autumn and winter dishes or cellar until 2035 at least. Christina Pickard

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
