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
A full flavored but simple wine that tastes of dark grapes and a bit of pepper, medium in body, easy to drink or even gulp. An everyday table wine for lunch or dinner.
Second bottle: With lamb chops, even more richly flavored than I remember, with chocolate-blueberry-blackberry fruit in abundance, and a long, crisp finish and aftertaste. Stands up very well to the grilled lamb, and delightful alone. Got better as it opened up.
