Mount Horrocks Shiraz 2005
Ripe, jammy aromas of plums and berries with herbal undertones of mint and menthol are lifted by sweet cedar/vanilla oak, spicy notes of clove, cinnamon and white pepper, plus a lifted floral aspect. Initially forward and minty, its confiture-like expression of blackberries and redcurrants becomes more raisined and currant-like down the palate, tasting more hollow and thin before a green-edged and sappy finish.

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.
