St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2005
Like many 2005 shirazes, it’s firm, well structured and elegant, but has a rather overcooked, meaty and currant-like nature. With plenty of smoky, meaty artefact and charry oak, its jammy expression of plums and small berries overlies spice cake-like notes of cloves and cinnamon. It’s well-handled tannins are polished and pliant.

Winery
St Hallett
Recently acquired by Accolade Wines, St Hallett is a Barossa shiraz specialist. Its Faith is typically vibrant, spicy and silky-smooth, while the Blackwell has more richness, structure and expression. A Barossa benchmark responsible for two excellent releases from 2010 and 2012, the Old Block tops them both for depth, structure and longevity. Recent vintages have also seen a significant improvement in the Eden Valley Riesling, which produced rather a different, more early-maturing style from 2014.
