Other Reviews….

Sadly, there are only 300 cases of this remarkable wine (made from yields of 8 hectoliters per hectare). Produced from the ancient Cambrian soils of this renowned viticultural area, this 2004 Shiraz (which benefited from a six week maceration) boasts a liqueur of rocks-like note interwoven with complex aromas of creme de cassis, graphite, truffles, and flowers. There are multiple layers of flavor as well as outstanding elegance, minerality, and precision. As close to a New World version of Hermitage as one will ever find, it is the most extraordinary wine I have ever tasted from this part of Australia and clearly a striking example of terroir. Give it 2-3 years of bottle age, and consume it over the following two decades.
