The Wine:
Our beautiful, perfumed, cool-grown Shiraz with that seasoning of viognier that seems to bring the wine to life. Coming up to 20 years since we got our first crop and you can see it in the wine, a rising complexity of aroma, flavour and texture. Super aromatic floral, spice and red fruit, silky texture. Just seems so together as a young wine but we know they gracefully age and generally recommend a 7-10 year window.
The Review:
Mike Bennie, The Wine Front - 92pts
"A subtle, spicy, slick red of washy raspberry fruit character, wet leaf and undergrowth characters, some brambly blackberry notes, white mushroom, black pepper and peppery sage leaf characters. It feels like viognier is a very back note here, the vintage out and proud in diffuse nature and spread of flavours, plus the greenery found here, but in all that, a kind of pinosity, pleasing swish of texture and cool finish."
