An intensely dark blood dye red with a black squid ink hue. A subtle yet sophisticated nose that teases the brain with assorted fruits that intrigue. Smokey, dusty, coffee beans and burnt chocolate encapsulate the senses. Black pepper, liquorice, clove and thyme hit the taste buds and get the heart beating that little bit faster. Strong blackcurrant and blackberry combine well with the leathery earthy cedar cigar box of a typical Australian full bodied Shiraz.
The 2013 vintage had two brief heat spikes prior to the beginning of March compressed the vintage with all varieties ripening hot on the heels of each other. Best ever, fruit composition was supported well by vine and fruit condition, which was nonetheless excellent. The vintage followed the excellent 2012 vintage.
Wine Spectator Magazine Best Value Wines
"Velvety, polished and poised, playing dark berry and cherry flavors against savory notes, finishing with harmony. Drink now through 2017."
Best Value Buys All Under $20 Winestate Magazine
"A mellow nose of oak and fruit and sweet mid-weight palate with a drying finish."
Huon Hooke
"Medium to full red colour with a tinge of brick. The aroma is plain and forward-developed, with some earthy and smoky notes. It's medium-bodied and edgy, the texture lacking softness and flow. A basic wine, now benefitting from a little forward-development in the sense that it's not a simple grapy style."
