D’Arenberg Stump Jump Shiraz – 2015

Pound for pound one of the best value Australian Shiraz you’ll encounter. The Stump Jump Shiraz always punches well above its weight and the 2015 version is no exception. The aromas and flavours present as a mix of dark and red fruits – plums, mulberries, blackberries and raspberries. Add to this a healthy dose of rich liquorice and slightly earthy notes, along with a subtle lick of vanilla and baking spice. The mouthfeel is creamy and succulent with just enough tannin to prop the wine up, presenting long and fresh, effortlessly avoiding falling over short of the mark. What a complex and complete wine for the price point, delivering upon release with an expectation to drink well over the next 2 to 5 years.
