2016 Jilly Dick Dixon New England Shiraz Nebbiolo


Appropriately, given the chaos-based nature of living/life, Jared Dixon, the NSW Northern Rivers young, local, emerging wine-maker, has subtitled his 2016 Jilly Dick Dixon New England Shiraz Nebbiolo ‘addicted to the unknown’. It’s a deep, deep ruby red with an aroma of chocolate, tobacco and wood smoke. On the palate it is mostly savoury with a rough edge. It would be a beautiful wine with food, likely to enhance roast chicken or meatballs. A dedication to a Dick Dixon is emblematic of the intra-family association, not uncommon in wine-making.
