Mount Horrocks Shiraz 2006
A smooth, polished and savoury shiraz with a spicy, floral fragrance of sweet red and black berries, plums, white pepper, cloves and cinnamon backed by restrained cedar/vanilla oak plus musky suggestions of nutmeg and animal hide. Medium to full in weight, its fine-grained expression of juicy fruit is very slightly cooked, with a faint green-edged sourness at the finish. Very well handled, but marginally under and overripened.

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.
