Tyrrells Rufus Stone McLaren Vale Shiraz 2006

By Gary Walsh

TyrrellsThey spelt plum as plumb on the back label, but other than that everything else comes to you in perfect working order.

Impressive colour leads into a fine regional wine - plum, chocolate, a bit of black pepper, some earthiness and a dab of coconut/vanilla oak. It’s medium to full bodied but, refreshingly, is neither heavy nor sweet. Nice and fresh with a light fine grained tannin grip and clean dry finish of good length. Great drinking - an excellent savoury dry red.
