Coriole Shiraz 2012
Stylish, complex and tightly focused around a bright acidity, this elegant and exceptionally balanced young shiraz has a spicy, peppery fragrance of fresh cassis, blackberries, dark plums and vanilla/cedary oak backed by scents of violets, minerals, cola and a light meatiness. Its long, sumptuous palate of dark berries, plums ,chocolatey oak and firmish, fine tannins builds towards a lingering finish of faintly sour-edged fruit, mint, menthol and roasting pan scrapings. A wine of outstanding value and regional integrity.

Coriole
Coriole is a long-established small wine business in McLaren Vale that applies art and finesse to its long-living expressions of the region's popular specialities of shiraz, sangiovese and semillon. Typically, the current releases are spotlessly made, over-deliver for their price points and offer an alluring combination of flavour, poise and elegance, all the way from the astonishing Redstone Shiraz to the flagship Lloyd Reserve. Coriole's whites are typically fine and seamless, gentle and savoury. It's so easy to see why I look forward to tasting its wines every year.
