Mount Horrocks Shiraz 2013
Complex and stylish, with a slightly meaty, funky fragrance of blackberries, dark plums, mulberries and fresh cedar/vanilla oak backed by a regional whiff of menthol and lifted by a sweet floral note. ItÕs medium to full-bodied with deep, sour-edged flavours of plums, blackberries and cassis smoothly knit with savoury oaky notes and supported by a fine, powdery spine of drying tannins. It finishes faintly mineral and should become significantly softer with time.

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.
