Finally, if it’s a “go big or go home” kind of Father’s Day, well it doesn’t get much bigger or bolder than Langmeil’s intense Valley Floor Shiraz. This is quintessential Barossa Valley powerhouse Shiraz, which is to say that this red marries sumptuous, ripe dark fruit and mocha tones with remarkable elegance. The full, richly textured yet balanced finish carries the theme. Here’s the bottle for when you simply need a wine to chew on — ideally while chewing on herb-bedecked grilled lamb.
