The Barossa Region is known for its great wines, particularly its Shiraz. From the very heart of it comes this hand made Barossa Valley Shiraz. With minimal filtration and no fining, it is a truly honest expression of what Barossa can produce. Very deep crimson with purple hues. On the nose, rich dark cherries, Satsuma plum and mulberry fruits jump out of the glass, mingling with milk chocolate, white pepper and cinnamon. Full-bodied and mouth filling with lovely plums and cherries carried with chocolate and vanillin American oak. Balancing off the sweet fruit is firm but fine tannins and sweet, bri-ary spices.
James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion: "Opaque purple-red; a luscious rich and ripe (but not overripe) medium- to full-bodied Barossa shiraz, the plum, blackberry and prune flavours augmented by well integrated mocha/vanilla oak." 93 points
