Lark Hill Scuro Sangiovese Shiraz 2015

Posted on 11 March 2017.

Scuro means dark in Italian though this wine is anything but that. From long term Canberra District producers who farm biodynamically.
Earthy, smoky, toasty notes, with charcuterie character, red cherry, rose hip and fresh green herbs. Like this start. Charisma. Light to medium weight, slippery texture, feathery tannins, touch of granite-like mineral character finishes in a good, firm pucker. Great drinking here.

Tasted : Feb-17
Price : $65
Closure : Screwcap
Drink : 2015
