$39.99

about this wine:

"The fruit for the 2002 Reserve Shiraz was primarily sourced from the 'Willows Block' at Fox Creek and harvested between 14.2° and 14.8° Baumé. Fermentation on skins was for 8 days with a proportion of the wine (40%) completing fermentation in new American (70%) and French (30%) oak. The wine was matured for 15 months in new and 1 year old American and French oak. During this time the wine was racked 3 times...great depth of colour, aroma and flavour typical of the best wines of the McLaren Vale region. The wine has an extraordinary range of flavours including blackberry, blackcurrant, licorice and dark chocolate. There is a long finish."

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, July 2005

Ripe, vibrant and nicely focused aromas of crushed blackberry, blackcurrant, basil, exotic incense and vanilla. Dense and thick, with round, supple flavors of dark berries, creme de cassis kirsch, mocha and roasted meat. Finishes fat and creamy without losing its focus or verve.

Meaty, burnt sugary aromas are deep. On the palate, tannins are chewy and red fruit is dressed up with coffee and mocha; coffee continues through the long finish. Bears some resemblance to the 1994 Reserve Shiraz, which is still going strong.

Wine Spectator, January 2004

Tightly packed with bright plum, currant and spice flavors, this one has remarkable focus that lets the flavors roll beautifully through the firm tannins onto a long and promising finish. Best from 2006 through 2012. 350 cases imported. (HS)
