Almost reminds of pinot. Soft. Good light tangy bitter finish

Aug 2nd, 2016Pretty medium garnet color, vibrant acidity and bright fresh berry character. No jamminess or white pepper here, just delicious fruit and 12.5% abv. Seductive in its appeal. Well judged oak that never intrudes on the fruit. Dekicious and a benchmark in cool climate shiraz

Apr 15th, 2016Cooler climate Shiraz. Medium bodied. Exceptional dark fruits, silky tannins and fine oak integration. So easy to drink. Very rewarding

Aug 27th, 2015The runner up of the 3rd flight. Great dark berries and moreish tannin. Could be back to back winner. Props to @wadewitz

Jan 25th, 2015Wine in the news: Adelaide Hills shiraz or syrah; this made by the cousins Shaw & Smith though the recent Jimmy Watson winner with a syrah from the same Geographic Indication has been the media star. This S+ S wine is taut and frank; nose and taste are tightly coiled as an expression of black
fruits; importantly it is not simple tannin which is often the crutch used in this region; great tannin for such a light bodied wine; AUD 45

Another stunner from this portfolio. Adam really knows how to make subtle style of Shiraz. Rich and full with plum,
