The Black Chook
Co-fermenting small amounts of Viognier skins with Shiraz adds a wonderful apricot perfume, at the same time as intensifying the deep rich color and velvety mouthfeel of the wine.
International Wine Cellar
Bright ruby. Highly perfumed nose offers an energetic bouquet of peppery dark berries, fresh violet and smoked meat. On the palate, this displays a real northern Rhone-like personality, with an array of dark berry and candied floral flavors. Picks up vanilla and cola on the seductively sweet and very persistent finish. Leaves tangy minerality behind, along with a lively note of cracked pepper. - Tanzer
Score: 90. —Stephen Tanzer, July 2008.Wine Spectator
Bright and silky, with a sense of refinement to the blackberry and peach fruit, lingering against fine tannins. Drink now through 2011.
