From Eden Valley, Flaxman 2009 Shiraz offers a refined, age-worthy profile with classic perfumed aromatics and integrated structure. Lifted red and dark fruits, violet, and spice lead to a poised palate with fine tannins and balanced oak. A versatile partner for roasted lamb, mushroom dishes, or hard cheeses, with the potential to mature gracefully in the cellar.
