Tasting notes
This 2017 The McRae Wood Shiraz is savory and meaty—in accordance with its 2017 peers. The vintage has led to a tranche of wines that are far more savory than sweet, possessed of charred wood, tobacco, earth, salted licorice, deli meat and a multitude of other similarly woven fabrics. This is purely a style choice here—2019 is concentrated, 2018 is pure and red, and 2017 is spicy and savory. All are great, just armed with different attributes.
