Kilikanoon Baroota Reserve Shiraz 2020

Kilikanoon was founded by the brilliant Kevin Mitchell, who is famous for his outstanding Shiraz. His wines have regularly achieved a huge 98 points from Robert Parker and his top Shiraz sells for over $500 a bottle! Baroota began well over a decade ago as Kevin's 'special project' red, with grapes selected from a number of top, early ripening vineyards between premium areas Spencer Gulf and the Flinders Ranges. Vinified in small batches. The wine was made especially for our customers. Though Kevin has now moved on from Kilikanoon, the great winery still makes Baroota just for us. A regular Gold-winner, this 2020 vintage has won Gold and Double Gold. "Concentrated, bold and lively in the mouth, coating its fiery range with a touch of sweetness. Grainy tannins, long sunny finish." (International Challenge Gilbert & Gaillard). Enjoy aromas of blackberry with a sweet oak and vanilla lift, plus highlights of spice and eucalyptus. The intense, warming palate is loaded with dense black fruit, and smooth tannins carry the Shiraz to a delightfully long rich finish. It’s best decanted, then served with a rib eye steak or roasted eggplant.
