"94 pts ... Excellent retention of red-purple hue; the spicy, savoury bouquet is no guide to the sweet, supple black cherry and blackberry fruit which flows through to a long, slippery finish. Drink through 2022." -- 03/07 Winemaker's Notes
"Our Reserve Shiraz is the product of a particularly good growing season in the Barossa and a barrel selection of the best wine 2002 has to offer. The grapes were grown on our Rowland Flat Vineyard which adjoins the North Para River in the Barossa Valley. The wine completed fermentation in new and two year old seasoned American oak. It has all of the spice and concentration of a true Barossa Shiraz. The nose is flashy, with hints of tobacco and pepper. The palate is lush with flavors of dark cherry and black plums leading to a complex, lingering finish. " Technical Notes
"The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness (14be) and crushed into an open top ferment tank. The wine was fermented on skins for 10 days. This wine completed its fermentation in American oak barrels. The wine was racked and transferred back to oak for an additional 15 months maturation.We have bottled this wine without filtration or fining. This wine will benefit from cellaring beyond 2012. The wine was bottled in May 2004. 14% alc." | |
