Juniper Crossing Margaret River Shiraz

Jonathan had this 10 years ago

Fair to say the jury is still out on whether Shiraz works in the northern part of Margaret River but this is very good. Plummy with a hint of butterscotch (oak) and touch of black pepper. Medium bodied - fleshy with softening tannins. Short term cellaring. Very satisfying.

Cherry notes with some dust and spice. Medium bodied at best yet ripe fruit with traces of spice on palate. Marg River Shiraz from the north does not have a definitive identity. Shiraz seems to do better in the south ie Voyager, Cape Mentelle and Leeuwin Estate.

We pulled this @juniperestate 2004 Shiraz from Margaret River out of the cellar recently.

I’m glad we did as I reckon it des definitely a good time to be getting stuck in. It is 16 years old after all 👴🏼

We picked this bottle up a number of years ago when we were on a Top Drop Tour in Margs. Great memories!

In the glass it’s a garnet shade with warmth, spice and stewed fruit aromas. In the mouth it’s super smooth with mulberry and plum coming through for me. Elegantly aged.

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!

It was good but not great. Not worth the price
