Shingleback Unedited Shiraz 2010

Here is one of the companies that heavily invested in the US market.  Up until now they have not bothered with marketing and selling their wine in Australia but due to the US market dropping out they now are thinking of setting up a cellar door down in the Vales.

Shingleback Unedited Shiraz 2010

This is another big and in your face wine but it does have a little elegance in the mid-palate that takes it up the quality level. There are also some nice chalky tannins that seduce and mingle with your tongue but the level of warmth from the mid-palate on is a little too much.  Did someone say too much hang time? All in all it is a wine that is built for a purpose and that is to wow you into submission. Did it wow me? No but it did get me thinking which is something I enjoyed.
