Zonte's Footstep Lake Doctor Shiraz 2022 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 93/100

Zonte’s Footstep Lake Doctor 2022 Shiraz from Langhorne Creek pours a deep ruby-black. On the nose, dark blackberry and black cherry mingle with violet petals, damp earth and a hint of freshly cracked black pepper. The palate is plush and generous, offering meat-like undertones, a whisper of white pepper and a savory herbal lift, all wrapped in velvety, fine-grained tannins. A long, silky finish carries notes of menthol, leather and subtle oak. Try it with a rare grass-fed ribeye with garlic-herb butter, herb-crusted rack of lamb or mushroom-and-thyme tart for an earthy counterpoint.

Shiraz food pairings: Mexican-style venison sausage and roasted root vegetables, stuffed rolled flank steak, boar stew.
