Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 91
Savory notes of sage and bay leaf are as forward on the nose as the plum and cherry notes. There’s a lick of vanillin oak showing, too. The abundance of tangy fruit continues its journey in the mouth, lingering on the finish amidst a powerful, well-placed frame of tannins. Drink now-2031.
Wine Tasting Notes
The Footbolt Shiraz from d’Arenberg McLaren Vale is an exceptional red wine that offers excellent value. It showcases the characteristics of a warm vintage, displaying flavors of plum, black fruits, and licorice. Despite its affordable price, this wine exhibits a remarkable complexity, featuring a solid acidity and appealing earthy undertones. The oak integration is well-executed, providing a medium level of tannins. This results in a wine that is enjoyable to drink presently, yet also has the potential to age gracefully for the next 5-10 years.
