Longview Yakka Shiraz has been a remarkably consistent performer over the past decade and become a favourite for those seeking a high-quality Adelaide Hills Shiraz at a very reasonable price.
The 2020 Longview Yakka Shiraz is another medium-bodied, Adelaide Hills Shiraz displaying vibrant blue fruits flavours, dark chocolate, coffee and a nice touch of subtle oak. A cool-climate Shiraz of impressive balance and length, this again delivers exceptional value for money drinking.
"93 Points. A fine cooler-climate Shiraz from the Adelaide Hills. If you are after the big, bold, bruiser style of Shiraz, look elsewhere. This has finesse and elegance. A lovely crimson colour; the flavours weave their way through dry herbs, tobacco leaf notes, red currants and spices with a hint of new leather. There is juicy acidity here too, with focus and very good length. Fine, silky tannins so well structured and starting to show some complexity, this is a bit exciting. Drink any time over the next five to six years. Drink: 2022 - 2028"- Ken Gargett, winepilot.com.
