Loaded with personality! This blockbuster Shiraz is loaded with dark fruit flavour, dark spices and toasty oak. Generous layers of black plums and cherries, coffee and peppers aromas. Full-bodied and rich. A real palate whopper. Highly recommended.

Shiraz food pairings: steak, stew, brontosaurus burgers, blackened chicken, blue cheese.

Reviews and Ratings

Rich, dark hue with a equally dark aroma cloud on the nose of this Australian Shiraz. The 2009 vintage offers dried herbs and smoke on the palate and finish. In 1964, Jim Barry and his wife Nancy bought 70 acres of land and planted Shiraz. These old vines are low yielding and are a classic example of Clare Valley complex red wine. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
