Ruby red in color fading to a pale ruby rim, 2002 Meshach Shiraz is refined and elegant, displaying complex spicy aromas with, concentrated blackberry, plum, mocha and a subtle earthy straw character. The enticing palate rewards with layers of flavor; fine spice and pepper, balanced with dark berries, plums and complex oak and mocha flavours, tight, fine tannins leading to a soft back palate, and a very long finish.

This stunning wine is Barossa Shiraz at its best, concentrated, big and bold, and will cellar for 20 years or more. It should be kept for special occasions and served with rich beef dishes.
