winemaker's notes:
Deep, dazzling purple/red hues. Lively aromas of plum, blackberry, spice and a hint of pepper. A bold mouthful of dark berry fruits, bittersweet chocolate and spicy mint. In typical Clare fashion there’s a solid, ripe core of fruit encased in fine tannins and crisp, natural acidity. Nothing blown out or over the top – well structured and drinking fabulously right now.
"The 2003 Shiraz is a dense ruby/purple-tinged offering exhibiting attractive notes of blackberries, damp earth, fresh mushrooms, and pepper. Ripe, heady, tasty, and supple..." - Robert Parker's, The Wine Advocate
