Reserve

2004 Mclaren Vale Shiraz

The Dowie Doole Reserve Shiraz from the 2004 vintage is a captivating expression of McLaren Vale, showcasing the region's rich terroir. This full-bodied red wine entices with deep, vibrant colors that hint at its complexity. On the palate, it offers a delightful balance of high acidity and pronounced fruit intensity, featuring notes of ripe blackberry and plum, complemented by subtle hints of spice and chocolate. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure to the wine, while its dryness makes it remarkably food-friendly, pairing beautifully with grilled meats or rich, savory dishes. This is truly an outstanding representation of Shiraz from one of Australia's premier wine regions.
