Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Bright, lifted and briary nose, full of plump cherries, concentrated redcurrants, and juicy plums. Anise, cocoa and cinnamon enhance its personality with a slight dusty and chalky undertone creating harmony. Textural and layered, the palate offers fresh andlively primary red fruits; mulberries and plums, offset with a little smoke and caramel from the Burgundian oak. Depth and intensity on the palate is achieved not only by length, but with width, offering complexity with sweeter spices and savory characters.

Blend: 99% Shiraz, 1% Viognier

Professional Ratings

  • 91
    This wine's purple plum and black olive fruit feels luscious and luxurious, especially for a $20 bottle. It’s tangy and fresh, with a recessed spice rather than an overt peppery drive. Ready for grilled lamb.
  • 90
    Fresh and vital, with expressive flavors of raspberry, black cherry and guava on a supple frame, lingering with welcome delicacy and a long finish. Has presence and style. Drink now through 2022.

Leeuwin Estate, Australia
Leeuwin Estate Winery Video
Leeuwin Estate, one of the founding wineries of the now famous Margaret River district of Western Australia was established in 1973 with its mission statement to: "Produce wines that rank with the best in the world through the pursuit of excellence".

In 1972, legendary Napa Valley winemaker, Robert Mondavi, first identified the future site of the Leeuwin vineyard as being ideal for the production of premium wine and provided early mentorship to owners, Denis and Tricia Horgan in the establishment of Leeuwin Estate. The first vines were planted by hand over a five year period from 1973.

Featuring state-of-the art facilities, the winery building was opened in 1978, celebrating with a trial vintage. Leeuwin enjoyed its first commercial vintage in 1979, and was thrust into the international spotlight when Decanter Magazine gave its highest recommendation to the 1980 "Art Series" Chardonnay in an international blind tasting.

Maintaining a team of highly skilled and dedicated winemakers, Leeuwin Estate is now under the direction of two generations of the founding family.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”

Margaret River Wine

Western Australia

View all products

Home to some of Australia’s most elegant and long-lived red and white wines, Margaret River is situated in the farthest reaches of Western Australia. Relatively warm and dry, the region is cooled by breezes from the Indian Ocean. Margaret River takes some inspiration from Bordeaux, producing top-quality Cabernet Sauvignons and Bordeaux Blends with firm structure, mouthwatering acidity, balanced alcohol and notes of herbs and spice. For white wines, refreshing blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as well as complex, age-worthy Chardonnays are regional specialties.
