  The third wine at our tasting event was this Shiraz from the Barossa Valley. I picked it as I have tasted this wineries offerings in the past and feel they exemplify Aussie Shiraz. I was not disappointed. Deep ruby colored with medium staining and medium viscosity even though it sports a 15% ABV! High intensity aromas of game, prune, coffee, licorice, dark chocolate, and chocolate covered blueberries were the comments from the crowd. It's technically a dry wine that shows off ripeness on the palate with a sweet sensation- medium (-) acidity, medium (+) body and medium tannins. Ripe blueberry and blackberry, coffee, creamy chocolate, oak notes and very nicely melded tannins. The finish was medium (+) in length. A beautiful wine that scored 17 points on our sheet. For $23, this wine is a steal that gets 91 technical points from me and therefore a 5 star rating. Drink till 2029.

  Full-bodied of course, sharp (Szechuan) pepper, high alcohol 15%, raspberry+blackberry, cloves, cedar, menthol. Thick but soft tannins. Best for on day 2.

  Rich rounded bramble berries, roasted plums, a bright bold finish, alcohol shows itself a bit

  My go to Aussie shiraz from the first sip I had of this cuvée. Concentration of fruit as exotic as the wild life down under. Be it the ghost of Powell or the business acumen of Kight, this wine has evolved with my palate. As good as it’s ever was.

  Text book entry level Aussie offering here, with a fruit forward attack, and a crowd pleaser finish.
  Great wine if you don’t want to over think what your drinking.
  High ABV is always a draw back, but hey.
  Drink now with decant thru 2029
  Rebuy
