Dog Ridge Original Plantings Shiraz 2004

Dog Ridge Original Plantings Shiraz 2004Dog Ridge is one of my favourite McLaren Vale wineries, producing superb wines from their 1940s plantings of Shiraz, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, and value packed wines at the other end of the spectrum. "This wonderful single vineyard wine is produced from a block of low yielding 60 year old shiraz vines. Deep purple in colour, the wine is a veritable tour de force. Perfumed aromas of blackcurrant, delicate spice, espresso coffee and a hint of

red and black fruits

Ultra perfumed with violets
