MOUNT PLEASANT PHILLIP Shiraz 2005

I bought this wine after reading a number of very positive reviews. We rarely drink Hunter Valley wines at our place, but that may need to change in the future. This wine is great value at its sub $20 price.

Deep garnet in the glass. The nose shows dark plummy fruit, mineraly characters and some gently vanillan, the palate is full with plummy fruit, vanilla and cinnamon/clove spices. It finishes very clean and dry, with a delicious savouriness that cries out for food.
