The 2008 Shiraz gives a deep garnet-purple color and aromas of warm blackberries, black raspberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and cumin seeds, plus a whiff of star anise. Crisp acid and a medium level of rounded tannins structure the generously fruited, full bodied palate, giving a long harmonious finish. It is ideal for drinking now if you enjoy primary freshness, or cellar to 2016 for a less fruity, spicier expression.Cooralook is a range of well priced wines developed by Yabby Lake Winery, which has branched out from Mornington Peninsula to produce regionally expressive wines from the Strathbogie Ranges and Heathcote. Adeptly forged by winemaker Tom Carson, formerly of Yering Station, these wines offer very good value.Importer: Yabby Lake Vineyard Inc., Lafayette, CA; tel. (925) 962-9229
