Starvedog Lane Clare Valley Shiraz 2012 (Clare Valley, SA)
14%, Screwcap, $20
An entry level $20 Clare Shiraz from an Adelaide Hills maker.
A sadly boring wine too – there’s some chocolate eclair oak, plummy fruit and a flash of Clare mint but beyond that not much. By the second day it had started oxidising into flab.
Not quite.
