2007 Tatiarra Trademark Shiraz

Tasted 2008: The Tatiarra Trademark Shiraz is a 50/50 blend of the best two barriques from the Tatiarra Vineyard in Heathcote and the two best barriques that Ben Riggs produced from McLaren Vale.

Opaque black crimson colour with black crimson purple hue. The nose is perfumed – lifted aromas of freshly picked violets, black pepper, spice and white pepper. A superb sniff and expressing the power of Heathcote overlaid with the refinement and elegance of McLaren Vale. The palate continues to reflect the elegance yet remains integrated and very forceful. Mouthfilling palate with exceptional length. Very strong flavours of black pepper, plum and blackberry over a background of black cherry and plum. Very fine tannins, exceptional balance. Very long aftertaste of plum, liquorice, blackberry and black pepper.
Alc/Vol: 15.5%
