COMMENTS:
This vibrant, deep cherry red coloured shiraz was made by James Linke and finished by Pete Schell (Spinifex) from grapes in the premium area of the Barossa floor (Moppa/Kalimna). A perfumed nose of dark berries and chocolate. Nice rounded tannins and good length on the palate. This is a fine example of a Barossa Shiraz and although drinking quite nicely now, will certainly benefit from cellaring. Screwcap.
