Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2008 Greg Norman Estates Limestone Coast Shiraz is a vibrant dark crimson color with rich purple hue. The nose is rich and complex showing strong notes of dark chocolate cake, black cherries, blueberry pie and dark plum with a hint of gingerbread and cinnamon. There is a hint of lifted coconut and vanillan oak rounding out the aromas. The bouquet flows on to the palate with big flavors and generous dark chocolate, dark fruit and rich sweet vanillan coconut oak. Behind these primarily flavors are an array of complex flavors including cherry stone, tobacco and spiced ginger bread. This 2008 Shiraz expresses the best qualities of the Limestone Coast Shiraz vineyards of South Australia.

Professional Ratings

89 Wine Spectator
Vibrant in flavor and well-mannered in structure, playing its blackberry and currant fruit against hints of licorice and bay leaf. The finish lingers easily against velvety tannins. Drink now through 2016.

Greg Norman Estates Greg Norman Winery Image

Greg Norman, known as much for his entrepreneurial spirit in the boardroom as his dominance on the golf course, is arguably the most successful athlete-turned-businessman. His unyielding approach to both golf and life earned him the nickname, The Great White Shark. Created from a family passion and strengthened by determination, Greg Norman Estates, founded in 1996, is a collection of fine wines sourced from stunning wine regions in California, New Zealand, and Greg's homeland of Australia. The selected growing regions are appreciated for the incredible wines they produce and the personal influence they have had on the Norman family over Greg's many years professionally touring the world. A strong believer in the role of wine as part of an active, easygoing lifestyle, Greg's aim is to produce approachable yet bold wines to be enjoyed by family, fans and wine enthusiasts alike.

Syrah / Shiraz Wine

View all products

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”

Limestone Coast Wine

South Australia

View all products

Covering a long strip of southeastern coastline in South Australia, the Limestone Coast growing region has a moderately cool climate and includes the subregions of Coonawarra, Mount Benson, Mount Gambier, Padthaway, Robe and Wrattonbully.

Its warm northern and inland areas are recognized for high quality, full-bodied Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The much cooler Mount Gambier, to the extreme south, is well-suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
