2002 Kay Brothers Amery Vineyards Shiraz
An impressive red. Very deep crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Aroma of violets, spice, white pepper and cedar. 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.
Cellar 3-4 years (2007-2008)

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.
