Heartland Shiraz 2008
Region: South Australia, Australia
Variety: Red Wine
Rating: 88.0

A vibrant ruby/purple in color, the 08 Heartland Shiraz has hints of chocolate, pepper and tobacco leaf on the nose. Blackcurrant, rhubarb and spicy aniseed flavors abound on the palate, and are perfectly balanced by fine, supple tannins. The 2008 vintage is more generous at release than the 2007, showing juicy, rich, varietal characters.
