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

[97 pts The Wine Advocate and #8 Wine Spectator Top 100]: Carnival Of Love is made from some of the best parcels of Shiraz with incredible density and smoothness. It is exuberant and powerful has a gorgeous black currant cinnamon and raspberry nose and lovely plum & raisin flavours. This is a generous voluptuous wine - an awesome example of the purity that can come from great McLaren Vale Shiraz.

Wow...all I can say is this is a HUGE wine. It's as if a fruit bomb exploded in your mouth. Every possible berry note seems to be present. It has a very long finish to allow you to try and decipher all the different levels. Tiny hint of spice, and a nice caramel note that completes this very complex big, bold, aussie red. Try it, it's incredible

BIG wine, lots of fruit. Mike's review is spot on.

That price (as I see it now in Snooth) of $115 is WAY hig. I paid $66 at Fred Meyere in Seattle.

This is a powerhouse of flavors. Mocha, raspberry, coffee, raisin. Its better balanced then the 05, but I love the 05's nose of buttered popcorn.
