Mount Horrocks Shiraz 2007
Restrained, spicy aromas of sweet raspberries, blue flowers and redcurrants backed by dusty nuances of cloves, cinnamon and white pepper, with creamy undertones of vanilla French oak. Rather forward, with lively cranberry, cassis and blueberry flavours, it becomes rather lean and hollow, finishing a little flat and cooked, with a raw-edged finish of greenish tannins.

Winery
Mount Horrocks
Mount Horrocks is a long-established small Clare Valley producer whose range includes a delightfully fresh and faintly smoky barrel-fermented Semillon and the popular regional dessert wine benchmark of Cordon Cut Riesling. While its shapely Riesling is typical of the region, the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon each delivered finely crafted wines from the 2013 vintage.
