winemaker's notes:
The dense, rich color indicates the power and intensity of fruit, with complexity and elegance
the truly distinguishing characters of this wine. Bright blackberry, maraschino cherry and
satsuma plum aromas are enriched with anise, liquorice and subtle roasted spice from ageing in
French oak. Succulent texture and supple tannins extend throughout the palate, and red liquorice
flavors provide a long, distinctive finish.
Fruit for the Victorian Shiraz is sourced from several cool climate regions including the Yarra Valley, Heathcote and Bendigo with each region providing complexity to the blend. Yarra Valley Shiraz grown on sedimentary soils around our own Green Point vineyard is typically fragrant and spicy. Heathcote Shiraz grown on the deep red soils of the Mt Camel Range is bright and deeply colored with fresh blackberry flavors. Bendigo Shiraz grown on alluvial soils contributes savory tannins with hints of eucalypt and the inland climate of the northern foothills of the Great Dividing Range provides Shiraz with rich structure and weight.
"Aromatic spicy red and black fruits lead into an attractive, medium-bodied but long palate, with delicious red fruit flavour, polished tannins and French oak."

I would not buy this wine again
I am extremely disappointed at this dishonest rating system. 95 for this wine? This is the most unethical marketing approach to sell a below average win as something that is not.
