What to Expect
Australia has certainly made Syrah its own, even bestowing it with a new name: Shiraz. In the warm, dry climate of Australia this noble grape, responsible for some of the grandest wines of France, produces an intense, unique expression that is distinctly Australian. The ripe grapes take on classic notes of black pepper and leather that add depth and complexity to the black cherry and plum fruits on the palate. Australian Shiraz has typically been aged in American Oak barrels which impart the wine with a distinct note of vanilla that can add to the impression of ripeness many of these wines have, but the time in barrel also allows the wines a chance to settle and reveal their rich, voluptuously styled mouthfeel.

Reviews Add a Review
The 2004 Annie's Lane Shiraz is dark, plummy red in color. Aromas of spice, pepperand dark berry fruit characterise the lifted nose. The palate has subtle integrated oakand silky tannins, creating a luscious mouthfeel to support the spicy cherry andblackberry fruit flavors. Food pairings: Beef Wellington with glazed winter vegetables Cellaring: Enjoy now or cellar for 5 to 7 years. This is an outstanding value. -International Wine Cellar ...this bargain-priced beauty is more about displaying the Clare Valley terroir than simple fruit or oak, unusual in this price range... -Wine read more...
