Yalumba 2004 Hand Picked Barossa Shiraz/Viognier - Syrah/Shiraz Red Wine

Red Wine by Yalumba from Barossa Valley, Australia. A brilliant effort, the 2004 Shiraz/Viognier (95% of the former and 5% of the latter) was aged 12 months in both American and French 300 liter barrels (only 10% new). Super-rich, heady, and full-bodied, it offers aromas of roasted meats, Provencal herbs, blackberries, cassis, new saddle leather, and licorice, terrific fruit as well as texture, and a supple, explosive finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. -The Wine Advocate
