Living Roots 'Blackwoods' McLaren Vale Shiraz 2019 Review
Living Roots is a unique partnership between two people from different sides of the globe that came together to make wine. Seb from Australia and Colleen from New York both fell in love with wine, met during a harvest, and Living Roots was born. The pair now make wine in both the Finger Lakes and Australia. This particular bottle is from McLaren Vale. It has a rich, earthy nose with savory wild berry fruit and a slight hint of soy. The palate is fleshy with excellent acidity that lifts the fruit on the palate.
