Kurtz Family Vineyards Shiraz Boundary Row 2006
Syrah/Shiraz from Barossa Valley, Australia
ratings pedigree (past vintages):
winemaker's notes:
This wine is made from two premium parcels of Shiraz grown by Kurtz Family Vineyards. The wine was matured in a mixture of new and older French and American Oak hogsheads for 22 months prior to bottling. This wine shows distinctive spicy herbs, violets and white pepper on the nose, with a full flavored palate balanced with berry fruit, savory spices, dried apricots and a firm meaty finish. Minimal irrigation was used during the 2006-growing season resulting in excellent color and berry size.
alcohol by volume:
14.5%
critical acclaim:
"A generous bouquet offers spice, black fruits and vanilla, the medium- to full-bodied palate no less generous, with a deep and seamless line of blackberry and spice fruit, oak providing the chorus line."

Australian Wine Companion
"Full-bodied, rich and admirably concentrated, this is a top-notch example of Barossa Shiraz at a still-affordable price. Aromas of espresso, blackberry and cedar give way to blueberry and blackberry fruit on the palate. The creamy texture makes it easy to drink, and leaving behind a mouthwatering sensation on the lengthy finish. Drink now–2016."

Wine Enthusiast
"The opaque purple-colored 2006 Boundary Row Shiraz was aged for 22 months in 25% new French and American oak hogsheads. The attractive nose reveals cedar, pepper, fresh herbs, game, and blueberry. This leads to a medium to full-bodied wine with plenty of succulent black fruits, excellent depth, and a pure finish. Drink it from 2010 to 2018."

The Wine Advocate
"Bright ruby. Sexy blackberry and cherry-cola on the nose, with suave mineral and floral notes adding interest. Juicy and pure, with vivid dark berry flavors, slow-mounting spiciness and no obvious tannins. A seamless shiraz with impressive finishing sweetness and length. I'd drink this now for its lovely fruit."
