McLaren Vale is doing all the right things creating a serious name.

Serafino, Shiraz, McLaren Vale, 2015

Deep garnet colour. Deliciously dark and floral fruit: Raspberry, blueberry, purple flowers, cola and vanilla oak with smoky, ferrous McLaren Vale whispers. Plentiful soft tannin carries the fruit high in a cradle. Fruit spirals on for plenty of time. Needs lamb.
