From Clarendon in McLaren Vale, the 2019 Main & Cherry Shiraz offers a dense, layered profile with ripe dark fruit, spice, and integrated oak. Blackberry and plum drive the core, with licorice, cocoa, and espresso notes adding complexity. Firm tannins and balanced acidity give structure; pairs well with grilled beef, lamb, or hearty pasta dishes.
