Australian & New Zealand Wines of the Year 2017

Mount Horrocks Clare Valley Alexander Vineyard Shiraz 2015

By Tyson Stelzer

94 Points

There is a wonderful, effortless harmony to this vintage, comfortably and perfectly balancing tangy brightness, black-fruited depth, spicy intrigue and fine-grained, mineral, Watervale tannins. It’s all underlined by supportive dark chocolate French oak. One of the greats from Mount Horrocks, compelling from the outset, and it’s only going to get better.
