Stonehaven Stepping Stone Shiraz 2021

Sweetly ripe and fragrant, the bouquet shows dark plum, raspberry, vanilla, cumin and roasted hazelnut aromas, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate offering ripe fruit richness with silky texture and fine-grained tannins. Upfront and delectably expressed. At its best: now to 2035. (Sam Kim,wineorbit.co.nz,Nov. 2023)
