Blending the regional characteristics from some of Victoria’s premium Shiraz districts has created a complex and balanced Shiraz. The pepper and spice of Yarra Valley meshes wonderfully with the sweeter and supple dark berry flavours from Heathcote and Rutherglen. Overall an excellent example of Victorian Shiraz.

Rating

Wine Spectator 89 points Bright andspicy, with a hint of black pepper weaving through the floral blackberry flavors, lingering nicely on the firm, fine-grained finish. Drink now through 2009. 15,000 cases imported. Score: 89. —Harvey Steiman, May 15, 2006.
