Deep intense purple color Black fruit, blackberries, fruity and ripe. The palate has a good earthy element. The palate has nice tension between the acidity and the tannins.

As typical of plush full-bodied Aussie Shiraz, this benefits from decanting (or a good shaking). Saddle leather, hickory, blueberry, and a peppery firm tannic finish. Great if you like that sort of thing.

Made with 10% whole cluster. Gives the wine a little more structure. Mixed dark berries, violets and a touch of eucalyptus on the nose. Deep vibrate, lush, blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, plum & medium plus tannins. It's has beautiful mouthfeel...round & rich, dark rich earth, dark fresh florals, good acidity, polished finish of warm blue fruits. Photos are of a concrete eggs they are using more & more of for fermentation. They name each one. The other is part of Yangarra's outside seating area.

Jul 18th, 2016Gorgeous tannin, plum - needs a decent decant to bring the fruit out. Long finish, delicious.
