"The 1998 Shiraz Amery Vineyard tips the scales at 14.8% alcohol and is made from 15-year old vines cropped at a meager 1.5-2.5 tons of fruit per acre. This is a substantial, full-throttle, somewhat old style Shiraz with smoky, earthy, leathery, charcoal, and blackberry notes in the nose and flavors. It waddles across the palate with considerable extract, weight, and heaviness. It is deep, chewy, muscular, with the fruit and glycerin largely concealing some tannin. The wood seems to be kept within reason (it was aged 18 months in American oak barrels, but it is hard to believe there is much new oak based on its aromas and flavors.)"

Renowned for powerful, richly fruited Shiraz, most famously from the Barossa Valley, alongside age-worthy Cabernet and cool-climate whites. A warm climate and old, ungrafted vines produce wines of generosity and depth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
