Comments
Winemaker’s Comment Due to the warmer climate of the 2004™ harvest more riper and sweeter fruit can be noticed in the wine. Cooler fermentation temperatures were followed to keep extraction optimum and to concentrate on retention of varietal fruit aromas. Oaking was still kept more subtle and with less American oak to make the style more classical and show more of the terrioir. A longer barrel maturation time was given to soften up tannins and integration. More Syrah than Shiraz as they would say: Earthy and barnyard with good complexity. Also leather, white pepper and red current. A full bodied wine with excellent depth and complexity on the palate as well. Raspberry, black current and liquorice are only some of the niceties
