Reviews

The difference between this and the Estate Vineyard Shiraz cannot be overemphasised; here, there is deeper colour, and an almost shocking display on the bouquet and palate of heavily spiced black fruits, anise, earth and briar, a touch of bitter chocolate appearing on the finish and aftertaste; the oak, too, plays a larger role in this wine. If you manage to get your hands on a bottle of each, try to decide how much the difference is the hand of god, how much the hand of man.
Arrestingly complex and savoury, this stylish, smoky and distinctly Rh™ne-inspired shiraz unfolds a dusty, faintly minty perfume of heady floral notes, sweet small black and red berries, tight-knit smoky oak, herbal bay leaf nuances and a hint of charcuterie. ItÕs long, pliant and fine-grained, with a pleasing core of fresh, juicy and tightly focused flavours of small sour-edged blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plums tightly knit with cedary oak and dusty tannins, finishing long and savoury with an invigorating acidity. Very smart indeed.
