Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The wine has bright and vibrant aromatics of freshly crushed currents and subtle spice that compliments a generous and juicy palate with plum, red current and blackberry flavors with a hint of mint. Supple tannin and well balanced acids support the fruit to provide good length and compliment the American oak. Sourced entirely from Pyren Vineyard fruit this wine offers all of the elegance and finesse that you would expect from a Pyrenees Shiraz.

Professional Ratings

  • 91
    Focused and distinctive, brimming with mineral accents that weave tar, basalt and pepper accents through the dark berry flavors. Comes together seamlessly on the hard, shiny finish. Best from 2014 through 2018.
  • 91
    A zesty shiraz, this wine's black-pepper scents parallel its throught-line of acidity, focusing the plush, creamy texture and carrying it through a long, generous finish.

Though Syrah originated in the Rhône Valley of France, Australia is home to the oldest Syrah (called Shiraz here) vines on the planet. Found in Australia’s Barossa Valley, where phylloxera has never threated viticulture, these ancient vines are between 140 to 175 years old!

Having brought fame and merit to the country’s wine scene since the early 1950s, namely via the debut of Penfolds Grange, today Syrah (Shiraz) claims rank as the most widely planted grape in Australia. In fact, the amount of land dedicated to Shiraz in Australia is now almost equivalent to what it is in France. Australian Shiraz has its own personality with flavors and aromas of intense blackberry, fruitcake, menthol, tobacco leaf and umami. Conveniently one can find great Australian Shiraz at a variety of price points but the very best will be dense, gloriously complex and capable of long aging.
