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.

"...it is a deep, chewy, fleshy effort displaying floral, peppery, incense notes intermixed with white chocolate, blackberry, and black currant characteristics...David Powell delivers some remarkable reds and whites at prices that are more than fair for the quality in the bottle…93." WA 10/05

Robinson

Rating: 17/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson Eight parcels go in to this very full, round, sweet blend that has an impressively gentle texture but seems just too sweet, and not acid enough, to me. The finish is still a bit tight and tough. Wait.

Decanter

Rating: 3/5 - As reviewed by Decanter Liquorice and spice, with some deep berry fruit character. Ripe raspberry with lovely, grippy tannins, and deep fruit, slightly closed. Drink 2008-15.
