About the wine
Beautifully balanced to perfection!
-
Sam’s super single-vineyard Shiraz comes from the Gentle Annie vineyard near Dookie in Central Victoria. This relatively dry site produces a low yielding crop of very small berries, giving a deeply coloured wine with extraordinary concentration of flavour.
-
The fruit was harvested over the first three weeks in March which produced a range of flavours from the early pick being more peppery through to the more richer jammy later parcels.
-
This superb shiraz has an incredibly deep red colour showing a youthful vibrant magenta at the edges. It has great intensity of flavour with blueberry fruits, along with a sweet spice and almost a chocolatey note. This is a beautifully balanced wine with great intensity of flavour finishing with silky fine grained tannins.
Best before
The wine has good intensity of flavour, and a plushness which make it a lovely drink now. There is also enough grip to the tannin, along with the high intensity of flavour which let me say that it will develop in the bottle for 5-7 years. The normal language about aging is to say it will 'improve' in the bottle. But I'm just going to say it will develop, because I really do think its a lovely drink now. I know it will be more savoury and complex as it develops, but not necessarily improved from now!
Serving advice
You can open it and drink now, but if there is time, let it breath for an hour or so.
Food match
Roasted whole piece of Eye Fillet steak. A bit of the charry black stuff on the outside, and juicy pink inside!
