Not kept in the best of conditions - in a London flat wine rack for the last 8/9 years so not scored. Under stelvin cap.
Elegant, slightly subdued dark fruits and meat juices on the nose. Smooth palate, tannins more refined as a result of time. Probably if kept better would be a really nice weekday wine at this point.

Petaluma's Shiraz is grown on a cool high altitude vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. Ripe and spicy it shows blackcurrant fruit characters with hints of black pepper, liquorice and elegant floral notes.

(Tasting at Petaluma, Bridgewater) Sweet dark fruits, with less pronounced peppers on the nose than its Shiraz-Viognier cousin. Also - this has more intensity and focus, chockfuls of dark berries, and more savoury. Cherry gumdrops, spiciness, density, weight, but finishes with tall elegance. Not bad.

Delightfully refined, 1% Viognier giving a real lift on the nose and palate. Peppery and with sauve tannin and ample length. Very enjoyable.
