d'Arenberg McLaren Vale The Footbolt Shiraz 2021 Rated 91WE

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.
