Wine Advocate Review Rated 95 The 2021 King's Wood Shiraz is super good, with concentrated, black cherries, rose petals, wet asphalt (must be the rainy day today), black pepper, mulberry, star anise, raspberries and more, more, more. It has a lot packed in but is not crowded. There's a good feeling here. It is effortless, impactful and pleasurable. It's all "come hither," this wine. It was made with 20% whole bunches, with a wild ferment, all free run and matured in 25-hectoliter French foudre, 50% new, for 16 months.
Wine Tasting Notes Royal Oaks and King's Wood were forests planted by monarchs to build cathedrals and navies. Long term planning. The beautiful old French oak in these giant foudre vessels is perfect for schooling and gently, gradually polishing and protecting the brightest, spiciest Shiraz we grow on Yangarra.
