2012 Taylors The Pioneer Shiraz, Clare Valley

This a commanding wine with multiple layers of intense, lush dark berry fruit followed by spicy fruitcake and then seductive mocha. The palate is full and generous but with precision to the structure and the texture most appealing with velvety, mouth-coating tannins mingling harmoniously with fruit and spice.

Elegant acids and light, long tannins carry the palate to a persistently rewarding finish.

Taylors The Pioneer Shiraz represents a bold step and continued journey across generations to craft refined and distinctive wines that rival the world's best. The Pioneer is an exceptional Clare Valley Shiraz crafted from the very finest fruit grown by and available to the Taylor family.
