2020 Rockford Basket Press Shiraz

Other Reviews....
It was a pretty concentrated and chewy vintage in the Barossa Valley for reds, though there’s plenty of good wines about.

Blackberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, dark chocolate, Turkish delight, orange peel, some custard powder, cedar and spice. It’s medium to full-bodied, quite sinewy and chewy, acidity slightly edgy, though it settles into the wine given some air, raspberry and redcurrant, a pleasing earthy/walnutty character provides savoury input, and it finishes with good length and grainy tannin. It’s a very good wine in the classic Rockford style, albeit a little firmer and drier than is usual.
