Description

Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 91
Savory notes of sage and bay leaf are as forward on the nose as the plum and cherry notes. There's a lick of vanillin oak showing, too. The abundance of tangy fruit continues its journey in the mouth, lingering on the finish amidst a powerful, well-placed frame of tannins. Drink now-2031.

Wine Tasting Notes
The Footbolt Shiraz from d'Arenberg McLaren Vale is an exceptional red wine that offers excellent value. It showcases the characteristics of a warm vintage, displaying flavors of plum, black fruits, and licorice. Despite its affordable price, this wine exhibits a remarkable complexity, featuring a solid acidity and appealing earthy undertones. The oak integration is well-executed, providing a medium level of tannins. This results in a wine that is enjoyable to drink presently, yet also has the potential to age gracefully for the next 5-10 years.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
