About this product

The Shingleback D Block Reserve Shiraz is named for the Davey Block of the Davey Estate vineyard and is the personal expression of the McLaren Vale from the eyes of winemaker John Davey. True reserve wines, the D Block is only made in exceptional vintages just like this 2009. In the glass the wine has a colour that is impenetrable purple red. On the nose there are aromas of mulberry and blackberry that mingle with dusty cashew, milky chocolate (typical of McLaren Vale), spice and forest floor. There are tight, fine tannins to counter the bold, fresh fruit which results in an alluring and unmistakable wine that expresses the essence of the vine, the time and the place.

Since 2014, each year before Christmas, I would buy a case of this wine for family and friends to enjoy. Never disappointed me. Very nice gift as well.

2015 Shiraz I purchased from the Bicton store, March 2021 was certainly not a $50+ bottle of wine. A bit of gas released on opening the screw cap which obviously wasn't a good sign. Must not have been well stored if other reviews are true.
