100% Shiraz from sourced from vineyards in a variety of McLaren Vale micro-climates in South Eastern, Australia. Layer Cake has been making highly rated value priced wines for the last 5 years. 50% of the Layer Cake Shiraz has been aged, for an unspecified amount of time, in new French oak barrels. The wine is unfined, that means unfiltered, there might be chunks of grape and yeast residue in the bottle. The alcohol content is 14.9%.
A very purple red in color. The nose is very intense blackberry, christmas spice, pencil shavings and cigar store, an impressive nose, I probably could have found more scents, but it was time to start drinking and quit sniffing. A very rich Shiraz, blueberry, tart cherry, dark chocolate, the mid-palate has plum and a healthy wallop of Shiraz spice. The finish is much lighter than the main body of the wine, dark fruit with a touch of spice, anti climatic after all the fireworks going off before.
A big, bold fruit driven Shiraz. You can pair this with beef and pork dishes, but to me this is a wine to be drunk on it’s own, it would be a good choice by the glass or the bottle, if you find it on the wine list at your favorite Watering Hole
