Bendigo Shiraz is up there with some of the finest Australia produces and BlackJack are perhaps the best in the district. Deep blood plum colour. Aromas of plums, nutmeg and anise/liquorice with vanilla undertones. Plum and dark berries on the palate: chocolate and vanilla in the background. An interplay of fine oak flavours and Shiraz fruit to finish. Refined and balanced.
Past Accolades and Awards:
James Halliday: 95. "Bright, clear crimson-purple; the bouquet has fragrant blackberry and plum fruit that signals the beautifully weighted and textured palate, flooded with berry fruits; like Block 6, is medium-bodied, presenting its flavours without effort. Impossible to split the two on quality."
