Sylvan Springs 2000 Shiraz (McLaren Vale)
-
$20
Get past the nose, and you’re in for a lean, mean Shiraz machine. A whiff out of the glass, though, will get you a nose full of lactic, milky notes, plus some herb. Palate offers a sour cherry-cranberry mixed bag, with a distinctive herb- and-tree-bark component.
