Xanadu Circa 77 Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep red with ruby hues. The wine exhibits vibrant, characteristic aromas of ripe blackcurrants, blueberries, and dark plums meshed with hints of bay and liquorice and subtle spicy, toasty oak. The generous palate is packed full of juicy fruits of the forest, cassis and chocolate characters. Medium to full-bodied, the fleshy fruits are supported by moreish, supple and ripe tannins. A balanced wine, with a persistent fruit finish with beautiful regional savoury inflections of bay, black olive and liquorice.
Howard Park Granite Ridge Shiraz
Garnet in colour with a lively bouquet of black and red fruits with subtle spice, musk and hibiscus notes. The palate is fleshy and mouthfilling with Satsuma plum, mulberry, boysenberry fruit flavours plus Hoisin sauce notes and sweet spice flavours. 15% wholebunch fermentation adds wild depth of flavour and pleasant chewy tannins; balanced by refreshing natural acidity and fine-grained oak texture.
Black Label Shiraz
Frankland River Shiraz has a strong reputation for quality and its ability tocellar and age gracefully. The Black Label Shiraz is delicate with firm, ripetannins, fresh red berry fruit and subtle toasty French Oak length. APPEARANCE Vibrant ruby with purple hue. NOSE Upfront red berries with hints of black pepper and barrel spice. PALATE Firm, ripe tannins, cherries and hints of French Oak on the finish.
The Next Hundred Years Syrah
Fruit from Frankland River. Matured in French oak barriques (10% new) and blended with 2% barrel-fermented viognier prior to bottling. Savoury, meaty and slick, as many shiraz viogniers can be. The ironstone gravels of Frankland River impart a ferrous/blood character on the wines, which is evident here through the finish. Structured and firm, this is very good because it plays within a medium-bodied frame, while having very good flavour concentration. Not an easy thing to achieve!93 Points, James Halliday
