Samuel’s Gorge Shiraz 2012
Samuel’s Gorge winemaker Justin McNamee may be one of the younger generation at McLaren Vale, but his wines slot into the time-honoured regional style well. Aromas of small berries give it fruity appeal and there’s a meaty thread, too. It’s satisfying enough in the mouth, perhaps less vibrant than many, but its creamy mouthfeel wins friends.
