Tasting notes
The flagship 2003 Meschach comes from the oldest portion of the Filsell Vineyard with vine age close to 100 years. It was aged for 20 months in French and American oak and given another 30 months in bottle prior to release. It offers up aromas of cedar, spice box, truffle, blueberry, and blackberry. On the palate it has plenty of succulent fruit, enough structure to evolve for several more years, and excellent balance. This tasty, complex Shiraz will be at its best from 2010 to 2018.

(100% shiraz) Glass-staining ruby. Powerful, exotically perfumed bouquet of dark berry liqueur, candied flowers, anise and smoked meat. Subtle vanillin oak and Indian spice qualities gain power with air and carry onto the palate, complementing the sweet black raspberry and cassis flavors. Fine-grained tannins add grip to the long, sweet finish, which strongly repeats the floral note. This would be great with braised lamb or funky cheeses.
