Gundog Estate 2021 Smoking Barrel Red

Shiraz (Hunter Valley)

Minty, spicy and menthol-laden, this is a boldly fragrant wine. After the sniffer-cleansing aromas comes the generous fruit characters of cranberry, dried raspberry and field strawberry. Alas, the densely fruited palate is rather simple, despite the layering on of leather and cedar tones. The palate is gentle with its integrated acidity and caressing tannins. This is an approachable, easygoing wine that would be perfect in a wine bar or other wine-by-the-glass setting.
