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
This wine is a beautiful dark purple colour with amazing density. A gentle bouquet showing hints of coal, chocolate and dark cherry flavours. The palate starts out quite lean and focused - then driving through the core is a mass of spicy black fruits and almost delicate tannins, which provide the key to this wine. A long and multi dimensional finish. The 2005 Max's Garden will cellar easily for 8+ years but it is very approachable on release. - Winery

Reviews Add a Review
Rating: 91(+?) - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 133, July/August 2007 ($60) Dark red. A melange of dark berry, ripe cherry, plum and underbrush notes on the nose, with accents of anise and tobacco. Firm, focused and deep cherry and dark berry flavors pick up aged beef and licorice qualities with air. Youthfully solid wine with a powerful, dense tone to the finish, which is a touch wound up today. "This is the one that needs the most time of the Garden wines," says Twelftree.

Color Dark and impenetrable with deep purple hues. Aromas Tight and intriguing bouquet of dark cherry, mineral, espresso, cinnamon, roasted meats and potpourri notes. Taste The palate opens gently with refined definition, nicely accentuated by a solid core of fruit weight without heaviness. Excellent balance of tannins and acid.
