The palate flavour profile is generous, with a cherry ripe flavour dominant followed by a white and black pepper, and dark chocolate back palate. Fine grained tannins. Perfect balance. Cherry ripe, spice and chocolate aftertaste.

Robert Parker's Review
The deep plum-colored 2002 Shiraz Amery Vineyards is a supple-textured, sexy, sensual Shiraz offering a big, sweet nose of melted licorice, black cherry liqueur, blackberries, and earth. Full-bodied and opulent, this hedonistic as well as intellectual turn-on can be enjoyed over the next 7-10 years. This wine is finished with a screw cap.
