Red Wine

McHenry Hohnen Rocky Road Shiraz 2022, Western Australia, Australia: McHenry Hohnen Rocky Road Shiraz 2022 is a bold and characterful red from Margaret River, showing off its deep violet colour and expressive aromatics. Bursting with tangy blackberries, mulberries and a twist of cracked pepper, the wine also reveals earthy mineral nuances and hints of clove and star anise. Full-bodied with a touch of rustic charm, the tannins are plush and mouth-coating, lending structure without overwhelming the vibrant fruit. Pair with grilled lamb chops or a lentil and root vegetable bake through 2030. Shiraz food pairings: BBQ ribs, roasted lamb, grilled steak. Drink: 2025 - 2030 42064 13.5% XD 750 mL $21.95 Score: 93/100. April 2025. Top Rated Red Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
