Turkey Flat Shiraz 2005
Each small parcel of Shiraz was vinified separately and matured in French oak barrels. The result is a firmly structured, elegant Shiraz, with lifted ‘primary‘fruit aromas of red current and plum and ‘secondary aromas’ of dark bitter chocolate, black pepper, aniseed and suede. The full-bodied palate has flavours of plums, red fruits and cedar, which will improve with careful cellaring of up to 10 years. Wine Advocate Cut from the same mold as the 2004, the spectacular 2005 Shiraz exhibits an inkier purple color as well as a deeper, richer, more nuanced style. Cropped at .8 tons of fruit per acre, which no doubt accounts for its awesome concentration, it is even better than the 2004, and should be longer lived, evolving for 15 or more years. Score: 95. —Robert Parker, October 2006.Wine Enthusiast Owner/winemaker Peter Schulz has taken a little-known page from Hermitage, using a small amount of Marsanne to add a rich, glyceric mouthfeel to this impressively endowed wine. Savory, spicy notes give complexity to the ripe blackberry fruit flavors, which linger elegantly on the finish, couched in soft tannins. Drink now–2020. Score: 94. —Joe Czerwinski, November 01, 2007. Wine Spectator Smooth, polished and distinctive for its sassafras- and cardamom-scented blackberry flavors, lingering against refined tannins as the finish sails on. Best from 2009 through 2017. Score: 91. —Harvey Steiman, September 30, 2007. Customers who purchased this item also bought:
