2002 Canonbah Bridge Drought Reserve Shiraz

[Drew]

Western Plains.
Inky purple/black in the glass. Viscous, showing long legs. Concentrated nose of blackberry, white flowers, vanilla and a touch of coconut. Very rich showing concentrated flavors of black and blue fruits, spice, vanilla and a blast of red fruit on the long finish which shows polished tannins. A big but very balanced, elegant wine with proper acid allowing food pairing. Wonderful! I purchased a case on the spot after tasting at 14.99 per. 15.5% Alc/vol but no heat detected. This is the type of Oz wine that I look for and not the ooze monsters that seem to be invading us.
