Clare Valley, Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia, Australia
Deep crimson in colour. Lashings of black currant and a hint of prune on nose and palate. If tasted blind I would pick this as Barossa over the Clare Valley. Sweet and full bodied on the palate. At its peak but could go on for a few years.

May 15th, 2020Very sweet and full bodied. Ripe cherry amongst the sweetness. Funny how your tastes evolve. 20 years ago I would have said this is pretty good - now I think it is a Wine to give to guests who like this style - and it would certainly have its fan base.

Fantastic flavours as expected from this vintage.

Jul 11th, 2015Fantastic zingy start, lovely balance, but then fails a bit to deliver at the end. Would have been great with a bigger fruit finish.

I don't know what it is with Clare Valley Shiraz and my pallete right now but they are blending well. This wine has a long life ahead of it but it is singing now! Just awesome.

Apr 21st, 2015Smooth mouthfeel. Red fruits, more tannins and tar than you'd expect with Shiraz. Interesting 'ashy' aspect to the nose at start.

Chocolate undertones, velvety texture, cherry sweetness. Very drinkable
