Morris of Rutherglen Bin 186 Shiraz 2023 is a rich, expressive red from one of Rutherglen’s most historic producers. The palate opens with deep blackberry, plum and dark cherry layered with cocoa, black pepper and sweet spice. There is a lift of violet on the nose, followed by hints of vanilla and charred oak. The tannins are firm yet beautifully integrated, giving structure without overwhelming the plush fruit. A second glass calls easily because Morris of Rutherglen Bin 186 Shiraz 2023 flows with power, balance and a long, satisfying finish.

This is a wine built for hearty food. Think grilled ribeye, slow braised lamb shanks or a charcuterie board with aged cheddar. It is bold enough for rich sauces, yet refined enough to enjoy by the glass beside an evening fire. A standout option for cellaring or immediate enjoyment.
