Our last bottle of this wine and the triumvirate of Spinifex wines we've enjoyed over the last 2-3 years. These have all been fantastic wines that are in great shape at around 15 years of age and have been excellent value for money.
Chocolate, espresso, cedar, blackberry and plum on the nose. Smooth on the palate with flavours of stewed plums, chocolate, spice and vanilla. Medium finish. Paired well with hard cheese and also great by itself.

I’ll be honest, never heard of Shiraz Viognier. Lovely nose of earth, dark cherries, and tar. After that there wasn’t much. No discernible flavors on the palate and short finish. Did get better with some air, but was really lacking in many areas.

Incredibly dark staining purple in appearance with no visible signs of ageing. Cooked black fruits and spice on the nose. Smooth but powerful on the palate with blackberries, plum, cedar and tobacco flavours, a certain amount of sweetness from the fruit but also lovely freshness from the Viognier in the blend. The wine is fresh with good acidity and soft tannins. Medium to medium-long finish. Drunk over dinner with roast chicken.

Lots of dark cooked fruit on the nose along with Christmas cake. Very smooth on the palate with dark cooked fruits, cedar and tobacco but also lovely freshness from the 6% viognier in the blend. The wine remains fresh with good acidity and mellow tannins. Medium finish. Very enjoyable and plenty of time left for those who have the patience.
