The mid palate is all strawberries and cream with lashings of vanilla custard. This fruit richness and luscious mid palate is the hallmark of this wine style, with sympathetic and balanced oak completing the traditional Shiraz flavor and structural profile. The youthful grape tannins provide a gritty texture and firm length that will soften and integrate with age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eThis wine is selected from intense and powerful Shiraz parcels from our best McLaren Vale vineyard blocks, with the variation in sites contributing different layers of flavor and tannin textures that defines the wine.

Sexy, oak-spiced aromas of cherry compote, blueberry and vanilla, with a smoky nuance building with air. Fleshy and sweet on the palate, offering intense black and blue fruit flavors lifted by juicy acidity. Dusty tannins come up late and add shape to the very long, smooth, intensely fruity finish. - Josh Raynolds\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e- Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (July\/August 2014), 92 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eBest Red Wine of Australia Award, Mundus Vini International Wine Awards 2014\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eGrand Gold Medal, Mundus Vini International Wine Awards 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tDouble Gold Medal, China Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Awards 2014 \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tDouble Gold Medal, China Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Awards Best Value 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tGold Medal, AWC Vienna 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tGold Medal, Alliances du Monde; International Wine \u0026amp; Barrel Competition 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tGold Medal, International Wine Guide 2014 \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tGold Medal, Lyon International Wine Competition 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tGold Medal, Berlin Wine Trophy 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tGold Medal, Catavinum World Wine and Spirits Competition 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSilver Medal, Hong Kong International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSilver Medal, Decanter Asia Wine Awards 2014 \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSilver Medal, Perth Royal Wine Show 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSilver Medal, Japan Wine Challenge 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSilver Medal, Shanghai International Wine Challenge 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSilver Medal, Decanter World Wine Awards 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSilver Medal, International Wine Challenge 2014 Tranche 2 \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSilver Medal, Concours Mondial de Bruxelles\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSilver Medal, Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Asia Wine Challenge 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSilver Medal, Challenge International du Vin 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t93 points (Gold Medal) Wine Showcase Magazine New Release Tasting May 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t91 points Wine Spectator Magazine USA (Harvey Steinman), August 2014 \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t4.5 stars [Top of Category] “New Release Shiraz $25 - $35”  Winestate Magazine New Releases Tasting May \/ June 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t4.5 Stars (Finalist for Wine of the Year Awards), McLaren Vale Tasting Winestate Magazine July\/August 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t4 Stars, World’s Greatest Shiraz Challenge Tasting Winestate Magazine September \/ October 2014\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tWinestate Magazine Wine of the Year Top 5 Category Finalist 2014\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fox Creek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948819279919,"sku":"A0EE371001SZL","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/fox_creek_short_row_shiraz_hq_label.jpg?v=1771484134","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/fox-creek-short-row-shiraz-2012","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
