2018 Shiraz Entity
Estimated value

Tasting notes
Dark, bright-rimmed purple. Smoke-accented black and blue fruit and mocha scents, with subtle mocha and cracked pepper nuances in the background. Smooth and broad on the palate, offering sweet cassis and cherry-vanilla flavors that pick up a suave floral note on the back half. Shows surprising energy for its heft and finishes extremely long and spicy with recurring smokiness and mounting tannins lending shape.

Hints of cedar join mint, pepper and bold berry fruit on the nose of the 2018 Entity Shiraz. Boysenberry and blueberry notes round out the medium to full-bodied palate, filling in any gaps in the plush-textured tannins and lingering on the softly dusty finish. This is a classically styled Barossa Shiraz, drinkable now and for the next decade or more.
