Kay Brothers
2018 Kay Brothers Basket Pressed Shiraz
Red Wine from McLaren Vale, Australia
Tasting
Deep ruby color. Complex earthy notes combine with rich raspberry compote, aniseed and charcuterie on the bouquet. Lingering in the background is a hint of smoky cedar. Dense, rich fruit flavors of raspberry, blackberry and plum coat the palate initially before savory black olive leads into soft, fine-grained and lengthy tannins to finish.
