Jim Barry McRae Wood Shiraz 2006
|
| |
|
|
This is a big, full-bodied Shiraz, shows colours of inky, ruby red and crimson.
The nose displays intense aromas of black fruits: raspberry, blackcurrant and plum. These flavours are supported by complex aromas of tar, asphalt, liquorice, oregano and lavender.
The palate is unreserved in its flamboyancy. The initial arrival shows fl avours of blueberry, tobacco, nutmeg and cranberry. The departure displays coriander, sage, vanilla pods and cinnamon.
A wine made using the Jim Barry method and as such can be enjoyed upon release but would equally benefit from a rest in the cellar to allow the wine to show some mature characteristics that come with age.
This Shiraz honours the vision of pioneer Clare Valley winemaker Jim Barry. In 1964, Jim purchased 70 acres of prime land from Duncan McRae Wood and planted his first vineyard with Shiraz. It was an inspired choice of both grape
variety and location.
With its beautiful rolling hills, ideal winter rainfall and Mediterranean climate, Clare Valley carries a unique history and winemaking heritage.
