De Bortoli Vinoque Shiraz 2012

De Bortoli Vinoque Shiraz 2012 (Heathcote, Vic)
14.5%, Screwcap, $18

I’m still waiting for De Borts’ Heathcote penny to drop.
Gummy, confected red blackberry fruit with massaged clay oak and a light finish. $15 wine, no more, no less – utterly short and light on. Just not quite enough.
