2006 Kalleske Shiraz Greenock Basket Pressed
AUSTRALIA / SOUTH AUSTRALIA /
Wine Spectator | Rating: 91
Firm in texture, with dark berry, coffee and sassafras flavors mingling easily on the supple frame. A classy wine that lets the flavors persist against fine tannins on the finish.Drink Dates: 2011-2016Author: Harvey SteimanWine Advocate | Rating: 92
The 2006 Greenock Shiraz comes from one of the estate's young vineyards but you would never know this on taste. It spent 18 months in hogsheads, 20% new American, 5% new French, and the balance seasoned French and American. It is a glass-coating purple color with an expressive bouquet of smoke, mineral, bacon, and blueberry. Layered, bordering on opulent, the wine has superior depth of flavor, plenty of savory spice notes, and a lengthy finish. There is enough ripe tannin to support 3-4 years of additional cellaring.Drink Dates: 2011-2020Author: Jay Miller
