Pirramimma Shiraz 2015

McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaPirramimma was founded by Alexander Campbell Johnston in 1892 and has been owned and operated by the family ever since. Geoff Johnston is the current ancestor, and winemaker. Pirramimma is an Aboriginal phrase meaning "the moon and the stars," which this what this wine reaches for from the glass. Expect a massive, hedonistic, ripe, deep and dense red with dark chocolate, mint and blackberry. This doesn't just suggest, it shouts McLaren Vale. Approximately 15 percent of this saw French and American oak, and the rest spent their time in stainless. Potent medicinal cassis, purple florals, ripe plums, blackberry wine gums and peppery spice take over the palate that surprisingly ends warm and just a touch lean which is probably a good thing. Pepper steak would be a fine match.Tasted: 14 June 2018Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:
