Jim Barry The McRae Wood Shiraz

Jim Barry The McRae Wood Shiraz

Earlier editions of this Clare Valley shiraz were marked by a pronounced minty thread that seemed a regional trait, but it’s almost gone these days in favour of lush blackberry and raspberry fruit trimmed in sweet oak, fleshy mouthfeel, big flavours and forceful tannins. It’s already four years old, but don’t hurry to drink it; bottle age will do it no harm.
