Colour: Vibrant, deep garnet with blue hues.

Bouquet: Intense and perfumed nose displays aromas of blackberries and liquored cherries with a fine overlay of white pepper.

Palate: Bright and focused with intense dark berry fruits, blueberry, plums, black cherries and subtle hints of beeswax and orange chocolate. A structured wine with abundant fruit with tannins that are ripe and finely textured.

Wine Advocate The 2005 Shiraz spent 14 months in seasoned French oak hogsheads. It is purple-colored with aromas of cedar, tobacco, wood smoke, pepper, plum and blueberry. Full-bodied, structured, and tightly wound, this intense Shiraz will benefit from 3-4 years of cellaring and drink well through 2015. Score: 91. October 31, 2007.

Wine Spectator Rich in texture, but there's a crispness to balance the ink-dark plum and blackberry flavors, lingering beautifully on the refined finish. Drink now through 2015. 330 cases made. Score: 91. —Harvey Steiman, May 31, 2007.
