Ross Estate, Single Vineyard Shiraz 2006, Barossa Valley, South Australia


This wine was released less than two weeks ago and I thought I should try this Shiraz before they disappear from the shelves of my local LCBO.  A deep colour with a bouquet of black fruit, blueberry, blackcurrant, damp earth, smoke and fruit cake spices. The mouthfeel is rich with loads of fruit , yet not jammy , smooth texture with velvet tannins. The finish is long, fresh, smoky with excellent depth of flavour. An absolute beauty that is drinking well right now and is a real comfort wine. I will make sure to pick up a few more bottles.

This wine was purchased on August 20, 2011 LCBO New Release at $30.95
