Mr Riggs J.F.R McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

Mr. (Ben) Riggs, who named this 95pt McLaren Vale Shiraz after his Dad. It's made with fruit from three seperate sites, and is "Captivating and lingering." (Wine Orbit). "This is classically styled Vale shiraz, full and generous, though with a sophistication of making a wine of class over girth. Dark berries and deeply ripe red ones, red plum, cacao, new leather, vanilla, salted chocolate, salumi and clove. Silky of texture without feeling slick, this is sweet fruited and enveloping, a winter-warmer style well achieved. 94pts” (Marcus Ellis, The Halliday Wine Companion). “Gracefully opulent and alluring, the wine shows dark plum, sweet cherry, vanilla, clove and cedar characters on the nose, followed by a beautifully layered palate offering refined texture with gorgeously melded tannins. Captivating and lingering. 95pts” (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit)
