Cape Jaffa La Lune Shiraz 2019
$120, 14.8% alcohol, DIAM cork, Mount Benson.
This wine was grown using biodynamic farming techniques on a single block of shiraz in the Mount Bension wine region. It’s an enormously complex wine. It’s strewn with tobacco, tomato leaf, earth, smoked meats, autumn leaf and sweet spice notes, though the main run of it is all red and black cherry fruit flavours, with modest dips into deeper, darker plum characters. There’s a soy sauce character to the nose and a smoked cedar flavour to the palate, though at all times the wine feels svelte. It’s a complex wine but it’s also a polished one. 92 points.
