Shelton Margaret River Vineyard Estate Shiraz 2011
A wine to cellar if you dare or are patient enough to keep your sticky fingers off it, and one that rubs shoulders with giants; Shelton's Margaret River Vineyard Estate Shiraz comes from a vineyard that shares fences with iconic Margaret River producers Cullen, Vasse Felix and Howard Park.
The deep blush of purple colour sits proudly like a well trained cocker spaniel in the glass awaiting attention. You wrap your fingers around the stem and inhale a glorious sunset of aromas that reveal blackberry, cherry and spicy plum. It is warm and soft in the mouth with intertwined flavours of forest berries, cassia, hints of cedar and leather and dark chocolate. With a lush, smooth, lingering finish it is drinking beautifully now, but will continue to develop over the next 3 to 6 years.
