The 2011 Shingleback 'The Gate' Shiraz is a fantastic effort from this very difficult vintage in South Australia. This wine begins with intriguing aromas of mint, pipe tobacco, black cherry and black olive. There are flavors of blackberry pie, fresh cut mint, eucalyptus, coffee grounds and leather with hints of blood orange. Lovely range of flavors at play. (Best 2016-2021) - April, 2016 (OB)
