James SucklingThis has plenty of intense, rich blackberries and dark plums, as well as some earthy notes, violet-like florals and blueberries. Dark spices, too. The palate has plush and richly fruited style with some handy depth to the tannins, which carry bold flavors. Fine yet rich tannins here. This is such a good all-round Barossa shiraz. Drink or hold.

Wine SpectatorThere’s a lot to admire in this complex, juicy red, which offers polished tannins and a core of fresh cherry and açaí berry flavors highlighted by notes of dried rose petal, sandalwood, salted dark chocolate and fresh tobacco. A hint of white pepper and a firming, malty Assam black tea hint lingers on the finish. Drink now
Shiraz/Syrah, one grape, two names, yields bold red wines. Originating in France's Rhone Valley as Syrah, it's known as Shiraz in Australia and beyond. These wines boast deep color, robust body, and intense dark fruit flavors, often accented by notes of pepper and smoke. In France, Syrah shines in structured Northern Rhone wines and blends from the Southern Rhone. Meanwhile, Australian Shiraz is celebrated for its ripe fruit and full-bodied style. Regardless of origin, Shiraz/Syrah offers versatility, from elegant and peppery to rich and opulent, reflecting its terroir and winemaking.
