(Fox Creek Reserve Shiraz) Fox Creek Blowout Dear Friends, Fox Creek and their current importer have parted ways and everything is now 50-80% off depending on the wine. We were offered a variety of wines but thought these were the best values for what they were. Some of the prices were downright crazy but here are our choices: 2005 Fox Creek Chardonnay McLaren Vale This one is pretty simple - everyone needs an extremely well-priced Chardonnay from a top-end winery for parties or other. Here you go.... 2004 Fox Creek Reserve Shiraz We’ve sold this before but at this price it was a deal that was impossible to refuse. At nearly 70% off, this wine will run circles around almost every other high-end Shiraz on the market. At the winery they believe this is even better than the 1998 – enough said. A multiple gold medal winner in Australia and a Jeremy Oliver “95” add to the appeal of this classic example: Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Aus9903 Aus9911

Fruit forward, toke three days to open up and get nice acidity and fruit to complement each other. Tonight it is drinking really nice (3rd or 4th night).

Robe de couleur cerise noire, d’une opacité étonnante. Bouquet superbe où flirtent la myrtille, l’olive noire et la menthe. En bouche c’est dense et généreux, avec une souplesse remarquable et des tannins bien fondus; fruits, menthe, cacao et espresso font tresse, le boisage demeurant sagement à l’arrière plan. Un très beau vin de garde, à petit prix.

From magnum. Dark ruby-garnet core; opaque. Plum, licorice and oak on the nose — very fruit-forward and primary. Full-bodied and essentially dry, with balanced acidity and plenty of soft tannins, not fully resolved (there was some sediment in the bottle, but not a whole lot). Blueberry, plum, dark chocolate, espresso and something distinctly umami (soy?) on the palate. Lush and opulent, with more than enough fruit to stand up to the oak. Drinking well, and seems to have plenty of life left.

Nose is hard to detect coming out of the cellar, but opens with boysenberry compote as it comes to ambient in the decanter. Best to screen this as lots of sediment. Not a shred of meniscus fade which is amazing considering this is closer to 17 years old. The tannin's are in check but the fruit just explodes on the mid and finish. Just goes on. Such a treat.

Beautiful wine, Hides it’s Age extremely well. Still primary fruit driven. Easily another decade in it.
