Mattinson review of Curtis Family Vineyards Martins Vineyard Limited Shiraz 2021.

Curtis Family Vineyards Martins Vineyard Limited Shiraz 2021
$50, 14% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale.

There’s a lot of deep, inky fruit flavour here and a lot of oak as well. It’s a Shiraz with the lot. It’s soft, luxurious, flooded with sweet plum and blackberry flavours and topped with vanilla, coconut, raspberry sauce and peppercorn. Tannin has melted straight into the fruit, and the finish keeps pushing on with the flavour. If you like ‘em big, you’ll love this wine. 93 points.
