Mother Tongue Shiraz, Barossa Valley, Australia 2018 Alexander Valley Bodega Humberto Canale today putsA wine of depth and body, but with an energetic transparency of fruit that belies its heft. On the nose, liquored and dried fruits of raspberry, boysenberry, quandong (a red native peach), and black currant. An herbal undercurrent of eucalyptus, cinnamon myrtle, and river mint. On the palate, the weight is punctuated by balanced acidity and a touch of bitterness. The oak is elegant and structuring, with notes of spice and cedar adding complexity.
