[SOLD-OUT] Shaw & Smith Shiraz 2012

Tyson Stelzer 96 points!
"2012 has given birth to one of the great Shaw + Smith Shirazes, and one of the benchmarks of the Adelaide Hills. Finely textured and immaculately poised, fleshy black cherries, black plums and liquorice unite in an elegantly medium-bodied style accented with layers of black pepper and game, reinforced by a small influence of whole bunch fermentation. Finely textured tannin structure and outstanding persistence point to a confident future."
Huon Hooke, Wine Taste Weekly, Wine Taste Edition 139 Jan 2014

"Shaw and Smith started in 1989 and has runs on the board aplenty but its best is yet ahead of it. It is building to be a classic Australian wine producer. This 2012 shiraz release adds to that impression.

It feels so plush in the mouth. And yet so elegant. And yet so tannic. Generous but bright. Has some pepper. Cherry plum. Oak polishes it up beautifully. Tannin makes a firm strike but then curls out through the finish. Beautifully presented Adelaide Hills shiraz, in all respects. Clean, spicy, fruit-driven, firm."
Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front, November 2013

"Aromas of flowers, peppery spice, summer berry pudding, and barely there oak herald a silky palate of real concentration. Finely tuned backbone of tannins."
Ralph Kyte-Powell, The Age Epicure 25th Feb 2014.
