A Trio From Oz

Donated by Heather and Donn Marshall

2003 Kalleske Greenock Shiraz Barossa Valley (WA: 96-100)
"A barrel sample appears to be a virtually perfect wine… It will be one of the leading candidates for Barossa's ‘Shiraz of the Vintage’."

2001 Paracombe Somerville Shiraz Adelaide Hills (WA: 95)

According to Parker, this "limited selection luxury cuvee (less than 100 cases), the 2001 Shiraz Somerville, is fabulous. An inky/ruby/purple color is accompanied by sumptuous aromas of blackberry liqueur, sweet espresso roast, white chocolate, melted licorice, and a subtle notion of oak. This unctuously textured, thick, rich, extraordinarily pure, elegant Shiraz will drink well for 10-15 years. Drink 2004-2019."

2005 Torbreck Grenache Blend Barossa Valley
"The Steading" (WA: 93)

"Purple-colored, it offers a fabulous nose of damp earth, garrigue, clove, kirsch, and black raspberry. Full-bodied, rich, and layered, the wine is powerful, complex and yet surprisingly light on its feet. It can be enjoyed now but will easily last for a decade. Torbreck, under the leadership of owner/winemaker David Powell, remains a Barossa Valley benchmark as well as one of the world's greatest wine estates."
