Winemaker Notes
Healthy rains in winter and spring set up the vines perfectly and allowed for stress free conditions
from veraison to harvesting. On the nose the 2008 shiraz shows earthy gravel, spicy licorice and
dense dark mulberries, while the sweet upfront berry fruit presented on tasting gives way to
complex cedar, earth and spice notes, wrapping up with ample structure and grip. The vibrant,
juicy fruit runs the length of the palate and lingers with a "have another glass" finish.
Professional Ratings
-
Wine Spectator
Polished and round, with raspberry, blackberry and spice flavors that dance easily over the fine tannins on the finish. Drink now. 7,000 cases imported.
-
Wine Enthusiast
Offers plenty of intensity and suppleness, but lacks a touch of freshness. Still, its dark flavors of cooked-down fruit offer enjoyment over the near term when paired with the right dish, like a savory meatloaf.
-
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Purple-colored, it exhibits a nose of violets, plums, and blueberry. Easy-going and friendly on the palate, it has plenty of ripe flavor and a smooth finish.
-
Wine & Spirits
There’s good juice at the heart of this wine, blueberry scented fruit surrounded by coffee like tannins and gingery acidity. It’s thick and ripe, for a charry steak or seared duck breast.
