94 POINTS 5 RED STAR RATING James Halliday ‘s 2011 Aust Wine Companion.
Has won top awards …and it ‘s not hard to see why. crimson purple. it weaves red and black fruits. French oak and silky tannins into a picture perfect tapestry. Rating 94. James Halliday.
Winner of 2 trophies and 2 Golds including “Best Shiraz of Show ” at 2009 Australian Boutique Wine Awards.
Frankland River produces some of the best shiraz in Australia and James Kellie has sourced the fruit from the region ‘s best low yielding vineyards. I love this wine because it is so damn complex .. ripe plum. ripe blackberry. dark chocolate and tarry/ liquorice flavours (reminiscent of the Rhone Valley). All this thanks to the regions warm days and cool nights. low rainfall and “mean ” gravely soils. Rich complex red with fine grained tannins and layers of complexity. This wine has benefited from some bottle age now…still recommend decanting this or further cellaring.
RRP $36
