Chalk Hill ‘The Range’ Shiraz 2023, McLaren Vale

Chalk Hill ‘The Range’ Shiraz 2023, McLaren Vale

Rich, luxurious McLaren Vale Shiraz with enough dark-fruit grunt to take the oak head-on.

Crimson with a purple hue and a solid core. Raspberry cola and musk jump from the glass, then blackcurrant, warm spice and the scent of new and seasoned oak. The palate is full and plush. Raspberry cola and musk lead into full-on spice and blackcurrant. The dark fruit has the power to stand tall and wrap through the oak. Plenty in the glass, and it drinks with real drive.

Vino Masters Score: 96/100 ★★★★★ Raspberry cola, spice and dark fruits
