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.

Winemakers Notes

The 2005 Henrys Seven is a blend of 65% Shiraz, 25% Grenache, 5% Mourvedre, and 5% Viognier. Dark ruby-colored, it has an attractive bouquet of spice box, damp earth, floral notes, black cherry, and blueberry. Supple and sweet on the palate, it has layers of flavor and a lengthy finish. It should be drunk in its first 4-6 years of life. Cheese Pairings: Aged Gouda, Pecorino RomanoFood Pairings: Barbeque ribs, grilled eggplant
