Tasting notes
A little more whole bunch than usual: 35%. Dark blackish crimson. Sweet, high toned and creamy. Nothing like typical Côte Rôtie – much fatter! But with a relaxed, complex edge and no excess sweetness at all. Not that different from a young Jaboulet Hermitage actually. Lively with very deep flavours. (JR)

Deep garnet-purple, the 2012 Warner Vineyard Shiraz displays lovely aromas of red and black berries – mulberries, red cherries and black raspberries – with nuances of lavender, black pepper and wild thyme. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is very elegantly styled, with a moderate level of grainy tannins and lively acid finishing with plenty of vibrant berry, pepper and spice flavor layers.
