"Voluptuous and seamless, the 1997 Shiraz Rayner Vineyard's beautifully integrated acidity, tannin, and alcohol result in a weighty, full-bodied, explosively rich, monster-sized Shiraz with copious quantities of blackberry and blueberry fruit intertwined with melted tar and pepper. Thick, juicy, and disarming, this [is a] lusty effort . . ."

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.
