Glaetzer Wines' Amon-Ra Shiraz 2016 is a classic example of new world Shiraz. This wine is made from old vines in the heart of the Barossa region, one of the most revered wine-producing areas. It's intense, rich, and unctuous with notes of black cherry, cocoa, and balsamic. The wine is big and burly, but still holds onto plenty of elegance. It's a super example of a full-bodied Shiraz with complex, savory elements and rich, velvety tannins. The flavors include grilled meat, espresso, black olive, cassis, vanilla, and baking spices, with an undercurrent of loamy earth. This wine is a product of a warm, sunny climate and ripe grapes, but it still shows a sense of decorum and restraint on the long finish.
