Outstanding and the top vintage yet for the Wine Advocate:
The full-bodied 2015 Mr Black's Concoction Shiraz-Viognier tips the scales at 15.9% alcohol, giving bargain hunters plenty of literal bang for their buck. Despite that, the alcohol isn't overwhelming. Raspberries and apricots join deeper, darker fruit flavors, all supported by ample weight, supple tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish.
Also tons of effusive reviews on Vivino, like:
Wow! One of my fav Shiraz from Barossa. Peppery, blackberries and caramelized! Tannins very soft and harmonious, great acidity! Pairs really good with ribs!
This was exactly what I was looking for on a cold day/night- really dark, spicy; just a perfect Shiraz that reminded me of much more expensive ones I’ve had. If you’re waffling, don’t, just buy it.
Arguably one of the best wines I've ever tasted considering the price. Incredibly smooth finish with great notes.
The best bang for the buck wine I have had in a long time.
Killer Shiraz. Drinks so smooth and alive with leather smoke and minerality with black fruit taking a nice backseat. Umami!
And that doesn’t exhaust even the five-star Canadian reviews!
This truly is a very special – if not utterly unique – Barossa Shiraz for the money. Even in Australia, great vineyards gently and naturally made will always shine!
