The Oomoo Shiraz is bright purple in colour with reddish hues and brilliant clarity. The aroma reflects dense fruits with hints of spicy oak and liquorice. The wine is solid with rich, ripe and flavoursome fruits of black plums, cherries and blueberries. The palate is smooth and refined, with a rich mid palate and savoury Tannins. The finish is perfectly indulgent. Dark chocolate layered with hints of vanilla and cherry. Laden with plum and blackberry fruit and a wrapping of regional chocolate, it has an excellent balance, depth and structure. Almost embarrassingly good value. 92/100.’ Australian Wine Companion 2006, James Halliday.
