Larry Cherubino, Ad Hoc Middle of Everywhere Shiraz

This blend of grapes from selected vineyard sites across the Frankland River region (all with granite soils) is everything you'd want from a good Aussie Shiraz. Deep, spicy black fruit aromas, with lighter notes of ripe plum, plus an earthy tone. Juicy palate, with plenty of crunch and freshness to the ripe black and blue berry fruit, plus fine, medium tannins. Careful ageing for just six to eight months in new and second-use barrels lends support.
