The 2023 Hesketh Midday Somewhere Shiraz from Limestone Coast is a modern, cool-climate Shiraz designed for freshness, drinkability and everyday appeal. Produced by Hesketh Wine Company, it focuses on bright fruit expression rather than heavy, jammy styles.
The fruit hails from the Limestone Coast and spent some time maturing in older French oak. Crimson red, there are spices, cherries, blueberries, crushed herbs and notes of licorice on the nose. Fragrant and alluring, the texture is seamless and there is good focus with decent length and sleek tannins on the lingering finish. It is so well-crafted, especially at this price. Wow. Four to six years. - 93 points, Ken Gargett
