REVIEW

2012 Kay Brothers Amery Hillside Shiraz/Syrah

Ive drunk a fair bit of Kay Bros in my time. Once upon a time was my go to winery when heading into the vale. I remember tumbling out of the winery after too many fortifieds, anyway I digress. This wine is spot on. Everything you could want from Mclaren Vale Shiraz. Perfect balance of fruit wood and spice. In such a great place after a few years rest.

Exceptional value, we’ve bought some already Stupid value, get on it

Wine(refined) Quality Rating :

Special – It may appear that I’m listening to what you’re saying, but I’m actually solely focussed on this wine, and I’m nodding on auto-pilot as I’m thinking about how I can get more of it into my cellar. (18-19/20)
