Chapel Hill ‘The Parson’ 2017 Shiraz McLaren Vale

ByCasey Bryan UpdatedSeptember 30, 2018

It was the “generous aromas of mulberries, dusted with exotic Indian spices” descriptor that made me intrigued to try this Chapel Hill ‘The Parson’ 2017 Shiraz from McLaren Vale.

I can’t say I picked up on those Indian spices but I did find the nose rather earthy and fresh with a hint of menthol. In the mouth I found it very easy drinking with a soft, plush nature and plentiful flavours of plums with a sprinkling of spice.

A big thanks to Dialogue PR for sending this sample over.

Jacobs Creek 2007 Reserve Shiraz – South Australia

ByCasey Bryan January 26, 2020January 26, 2020

While I’ve been travelling overseas, and to save sending presents for my birthdays over the years, my parents have bought wine and put it in the cellar for me. It’s a great way to build up a decent stash of wine and because it’s being kept many miles away, it means I don’t get stuck…
