Shaw And Smith Shiraz 2004

Made by Shaw And Smith in Australia (region: Adelaide Hills) .

A dry, still, red wine with 14% alchohol tasted on 25th Dec 2007.

Grape: Shiraz

Quality: Very Good

Value: A Little Excessive

Cost: Usually between $38.99 - $46.99.

Looks: Dark red purple with a medium to full body

Smells: Hmmm. White pepper, red and black fruits

Feels: Medium to full bodied

Tastes: Wow, they are onto something here. Reminds me in mouthfeel, weight and the white pepper of Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier in the last few years - so that is a good thing! Not as complex as that, but lovely black and red berry fruit, good length and enough gruff in the tannins to make it chewy. Nice!
