Mint, meat and rich bramble fruit. Such lovely typical fruit generosity. Serious and savoury on the finish with a very long tar aftertaste. (RH)

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2012 The Pioneer Shiraz exudes expressive scents of blackberries, mulberries and plums dotted with baking spices, vanilla and milk chocolate. Medium-bodied, the complex and elegant palate is amplified by spicy flavors, very fine-grained and silky tannins, and a long finish.
