Shingleback Acclaim

Shingleback - Davey Family Estate 2010 Shiraz - 90 Points + Top 20 Australian Winery
Robert ParkerOn the wine:
The Shingleback 2010 Davey Estate Shiraz has pronounced notes of warm blackberries and blueberries over cedar, violets and fertile loam plus subtle hints of Mediterranean herbs and game. The palate reveals a good concentration of ripe blackberry flavors with enlivening acid and a medium-firm level of fine grained tannins, finishing long. Approachable now, it should drink well to 2018+.
On the winery:
This winery has concurrently gone through a period of expansion and improvement in recent years which is truly commendable. The entry level Red Knot label offers exceedingly good value in my book, managing to produce delicious, well-balanced and very drinkable wines that truly express the McLaren Vale region, all at an incredible price point.

Wine EnthusiastFor the price, this full-bodied, richly textured Shiraz "over-delivers," as Australians like to say. Scents of raspberries, chocolate and cedar give way to a harmonious mélange of berries and chocolate in the mouth, balanced by savory notes of black olive and coffee. Drink now-2018. Editors' Choice.
