Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
The 2005 Shiraz was sourced from a 98-year-old vineyard in Vine Vale and aged for 36 months in seasoned French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it has an expressive bouquet of balsam wood, spice box, lavender, blueberry, and black raspberry. This leads to a dense, rich, savory Shiraz with layers of fruit, outstanding concentration, and enough stuffing to evolve for 3-4 years. This lengthy effort will be at its best from 2011 to 2022.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The fruit for the 2005 Shiraz came from nearly 100 year old vines and spent 36 months in seasoned French barriques. Deep garnet-purple colored, it is vibrant and floral at this stage with notes of chocolate, creme de cassis, game, mint and anise. The palate is fine and complex, with a good backbone of high acid, medium level of fine-grained tannins and a long harmonious finish. It’s drinking now and should continue to do so until 2020+.

Wine Enthusiast
If Standish's Relic is the feminine side of Shiraz, this is in a more masculine vein, with slightly coarser tannins and more weight, but still possessing great intensity without any heaviness. Cassis, blueberry and black olive flavors are tinged with hints of asphalt and espresso, leading into a warm, lingering finish. Drink now-2025.

Wine Spectator
Firm, defined and distinctive, delivering a mouthful of spicy black cherry, blackberry, coffee and tobacco flavors. Complex and refined, but packed with flavor and impressive for its length. Best from 2011 through 2020. 500 cases made.

The Standish Wine Company was created in 1999 when Dan Standish sourced a small parcel of Old Vine Shiraz from his parent’s vineyard in the heart of the Barossa Valley. The 96-year old vines are planted on the typical sand over clay soil profile characteristic of Vine Vale the sub region of the Barossa Valley. With Dan’s enormous passion for the wines of the Rhone Valley in the south of France, it was natural evolution that the wines made would reflect the intrinsic styles of the Rhone. Formerly a Winemaker at Torbreck Vintners in the Barossa Valley, Dan carries a Degree in Chemical Engineering and has worked in the Napa & Sonoma Valleys in California, La Rioja in Spain and studied extensively the vineyards of the Rhone Valley in France.
