Dowie Doole Spitting Spider Shiraz 2016

Dowie Doole Shiraz offers are a journey into this complex grape, which tends to grow
relatively small in McLaren Vale and offers complexity despite its soft feel in the
mouth. The far-from-basic Dowie Doole Shiraz is a deep crimson colour and has the
unmistakable McLaren Vale Shiraz bouquet: sweet plums, dark cherries, cloves,
spices, and toasty oak characters showing through. The palate is rich and full with
layers of dark fruits, licorice and plums and has a fine, velvety tannin structure, with
18 months in oak adding spice. In the best years, the Reserve expresses dark
chocolate, dark fruits and dark spices within a lattice of tannin giving it marvelous
longevity.
