Yeringberg Shiraz 2015
DOZEN: $1,350.00 or $112.50 each
Excellent dark purple hue, thanks to a splash of viognier. It's a glorious, perfectly pitched cool climate shiraz with a lot packed into it, yet retains an elegance on its medium-bodied palate. Heady aromas of dark and red fruits, black pepper, some pine needles/garrigue notes and a fleck of charry-wood spices from the otherwise integrated oak. There's a suppleness, juiciness on the palate, and a savoury note that tempers the fruit, the tannins fine and detailed with the acidity, like a refreshing squirt of raspberry juice. (96) JAMES HALLIDAY'S WINE COMPANION
Deep violet. Heady blackberry and cherry preserve aromas are complicated by suggestions of exotic spices, olive, cola and pungent flowers. Gently chewy, appealingly sweet black and blue fruit and violet pastille flavors deepen and turn spicier with air, and a smoky mineral flourish adds lift and back-end cut. Slow-building tannins add grip to an extremely long, floral-tinged finish that leaves star anise and cracked pepper notes behind. (95) JOSH RAYNOLDS, Vinous
Impeccable wine. Needs a few years to integrate fully but its cherry-plum flavour, swoosh of smoked cedarwood, lifted spice notes and meaty/clovey aftertaste are all presented in immaculate shape and form. It's fresh, frisky almost, with finely inscribed tannin and excellent length. Elegance in a glass. CAMPBELL MATTINSON
