January 9, 2023 - This wine is sourced from the "Heathcote" vineyard in Victoria (while the winery itself is located 2 hours north of Sydney in Pokolbin. 18 months in French oak barriques (20% new.)
Color: Deep Ruby
Nose: Medium- intensity, notes of red cherries, red plums, white pepper, cocoa powder, light eucalyptus and acacia bark
Palate: Medium intensity, medium+ alcohol, medium- tannins, high acid, red fruits and light pepperiness confirmed, eucalyptus and acadia bark more prominent along with some dungy leafiness
Finish: Medium length with fruit, light oak and earthy notes
Overall for a $25 AUD Shiraz it actually does a pretty solid job, even better that I got this on special for just under $20 AUD. I kinda wish the fruit was a bit more plump and round and the pepper was more prominent but for an inexpensive Shiraz it does the job just fine. -

September 6, 2022 - Blackberry, cherry fruit with hemp resin, floral and tar notes. Fruity, lively palate with a cushy, spiced finish.
