Angove Shiraz Family Crest 2018

As one would expect from the sunny, Mediterranean climes of McLaren Vale, this isn't a shy Shiraz. But its robustness and concentration—with notes of plump plum, cassis, mint, ground pepper and chocolaty oak—is neatly balanced by beautifully textured tannins.

Well-balanced with surprising finesse for its price point, it never veers into syrupy or cooked territory. Drink now–2028.
