The 2002 Shiraz Reserve is a blockbuster-styled Shiraz made from a 140-year-old Barossa vineyard. Its dense purple color is accompanied by gorgeous aromas of toasty oak intermixed with licorice, spice box, blackberries, and figs, fabulous concentration, a huge, muscular yet silky-textured, opulent mid-palate, and an explosive finish. Enjoy this knock-out Shiraz over the next 10-12 years.This outstanding estate remains under most Australian wine enthusiasts’ radar. The RockBare offerings possess all the richness one expects of South Australian vineyards along with abundant complexity, a subtle touch of wood, and sometimes a French-styled elegance.Importer: Peter Click, Click Imports, Seattle, WA; tel.

Structured, massive, and backward is the 2001 Shiraz Reserve, whose major component emerges from a 100-year plus vineyard. Its deep plum/ruby color is followed by aromas of figs, plums, black currants, berries, licorice, and pepper. This full-bodied, powerful, moderately tannic, rich Shiraz requires 1-2 years of cellaring; it should drink well for 10-15 years.Importer: Peter Click, Click Imports, Seattle, WA; tel. (800) 859-0689
